Ingredients

• 6 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1.5 cup heavy whipping cream

• 2/3 cup Swerve sweetener*'

• 4 teaspoons lemon extract

• zest of 1 lemon

• 4 strawberries, large



Instructions

 In a mixing bowl add the cream cheese, sweetener and whipping cream. Beat on high until smooth and creamy.



Add in lemon extract and mix well. If you would like more lemon flavor add

a bit of the lemon zest as you won't need all of it.



Take 1 of the strawberries and chop into little pieces. With the other

strawberry, slice into thin heart shaped pieces.



Fill each jar half way with half of the cream cheese mixture.

Add the chopped strawberry to both jars to make a nice layer.



Top the strawberries with the rest of the cream cheese mixture.

Use the slices of the strawberry to make a flow pattern on top.



Sprinkle lemon zest in the middle of each flower. You don't have to use all

the zest, just what looks nice.



Refrigerate until ready to eat.

Cream Sauce

1dl of white wine and stock each, reduce to about 1/4
Add 8 tablespoons of double cream or heavy cream
Add a whole bunch of finely chopped chives
