- Slice strawberries lengthwise into medium-thin pieces. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar and set aside to chill in a medium bowl.
- In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla until smooth. In a separate large mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 3 minutes). Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. Set aside and chill.

CREAM CHEESE CLOUDS
This attractive dessert is like a meringue but without all the fuss. The "clouds" are made the night before and quickly filled just before and quickly filled just before serving. In a pinch, I've used canned pie filling for the fresh strawberries.

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 190°F.
- Beat whites with a pinch of salt in a bowl using an electric mixer at medium-high speed until they just hold soft peaks. Reduce mixer speed to medium and add 3/4 cup sugar, a little at a time, beating, then continue to beat until whites hold stiff glossy peaks.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spoon a small dollop of meringue on each corner of parchment, then invert parchment to secure to baking sheet. Using a serving spoon, form meringue into 6 mounds about 2 inches apart on parchment. Using a soupspoon, lightly press down and swirl center of each meringue to spread out slightly, into a 3 1/2- to 4-inch round, and create a 1 1/2- to 2-inch-wide indentation in center.
- Bake meringues until dry but still white, about 2 hours, then cool meringues in turned-off oven (with door closed) 1 hour. (Meringues will be crisp on outside and slightly soft in center.) Cool meringues completely on baking sheet on a rack.
- While meringues cool, bring 5 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 teaspoon cardamom to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Pour cardamom syrup over strawberries in a heatproof bowl and stir gently to combine.
- Just before serving, beat cream with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cardamom in a clean bowl using clean beaters until it just holds stiff peaks.
- Peel meringues from parchment and put on 6 plates, then spoon about 1/4 cup berries with syrup into each indentation. Spoon whipped cream over berries and top with another 1/4 cup berries with syrup. Serve strawberry clouds immediately.

Tips:
- Choose ripe strawberries. The riper the strawberries, the sweeter and more flavorful your clouds will be. Look for berries that are deep red and plump, with no green or white spots.
- Use cold cream cheese. Cold cream cheese will help the clouds set up properly. If your cream cheese is too soft, it will make the clouds runny.
- Do not overbeat the cream cheese. Overbeaten cream cheese will make the clouds tough. Beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy, but do not overbeat it.
- Fold in the whipped cream gently. Folding in the whipped cream too vigorously will deflate it. Gently fold in the whipped cream until it is just combined with the cream cheese mixture.
- Chill the clouds before serving. Chilling the clouds will help them set up properly and make them easier to handle.
Conclusion:
Strawberry cream cheese clouds are a light and fluffy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your clouds are perfect every time.
