STRAWBERRY SYRUP: You can do this two ways.

1. Add 1 tablespoon water + 2 tablespoons sugar to a saucepan and bring it to a simmer. Turn off the heat and add sliced strawberries.

2. Add chopped strawberries + 1 tablespoon water + 2 tablespoons sugar and simmer until the berries become soft and the syrup becomes a little thick.

Let this cool completely before you add this to the cream cheese mixture.

In a bowl, add heavy whipping cream + confectioners sugar + vanilla or rum and beat till stiff peaks form. Keep aside. (Remember the bowl and the attachment should be cold.)

In another bowl, add cream cheese + sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add 1/8 cup heavy whipping cream + vanilla or rum and mix well. (Taste and add more sugar if needed)

Add half of the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and fold it in.

FOR THE CRUST: Add graham crackers + melted butter + sugar to a food processor until fine crumbs form.

Divide this into individual cups and press it lightly with a spoon.

Add the strawberry syrup or arrange the slices and add cream cheese mixture on the top. Add one more layer of strawberries. Pipe or add extra whipped cream on top. Garnish with a strawberry slice.
