Pour in melted white chocolate and strawberry puree. Mix until fully combined. - Whip the Cream:
In a separate bowl, whip cold whipping cream until stiff peaks form. - Combine:

Pour the filling over the chilled crust. Smooth the top. - Chill:
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until set. - Decorate & Serve:

Tips:
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the best creamy texture.
- Make sure the white chocolate is not hot when mixing, or it may curdle the filling.
- Chill overnight for a firmer and cleaner slice.
- For extra strawberry flavor, swirl strawberry sauce on top before chilling.
- If strawberries are not in season, frozen strawberries (thawed) work well.
