This recipe was invented when something I wanted to make didn't turn out quite like how I wanted it to be but nevertheless the end result was just too delicious . This dessert is quite easy to make . It is very fresh,  creamy , tangy , sweet and heavenly and it looks quite good too . Now I make it whenever I have a party because firstly it is quite easy and secondly it is liked by children and adults alike so here goes.......

Now fold the strawberries into the mixture gently .
After the jelly has set , add the cream cheese mixture on top of it and garnish it with extra strawberries and almond flakes if you like and pop it back into the fridge.
