Remember not to use the spreadable kinds. Instead, use the one in blocks.

Where to find original cream cheese in Dubai?
In Dubai, you find the original Philadelphia cream cheese in only select supermarkets. I get it from Park and Shop. Spinneys might carry it too.

WHIPPED CREAM
Whipping cream makes it lighter.

THE CRUST
The crust compliments the creamy texture very well.

STRAWBERRIES
You can keep it plain or add strawberries. Also, you could use other berries, fruits, or toppings like Nutella, oreo, biscoff, or chocolates.

The crust, to balance the sweetness, cheesecake mixture sandwiched between two layers of strawberries and above all a whipped cream topping makes it irresistible.

Furthermore, when you substitute rum instead of vanilla or use a good quality real vanilla extract or vanilla beans, then this is one more step closer to dessert heaven.
