Strawberry Cream Cheese Cake



 I was talking to a friend of mine recently and she said she needed an easy dessert that looked impressive to take to a dinner party.  No problem!  This dessert is super easy and doesn't even require baking...can't get much easier than that.  And to top it off, it tastes great too!

Ingredients:
1 8oz cream cheese
1 3oz cream cheese
1 pint whipping cream
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
3 packages lady fingers
Fresh fruit for the top - I like strawberries and blueberries, but feel free to mix it up.

Instructions:
1. Whip the cream and add 2 tablespoons sugar.  Set aside
2. In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Combine cream cheese and whipped cream.
3. Use 9" spring form pan and line the outsides with lady fingers - round side of lady fingers towards the outside of the plan.  Also line the bottom with lady fingers.
4. Top with 1/2 the cream cheese mixture and add another layer of lady fingers and then add the remaining 1/2 of the cream cheese. 
5. Top with fruit and chill 4-5 hours before serving.
