Cheree's Strawberry Shortcake

This was one of the first desserts I made for my husband when we were dating. He's not a fan of strawberries, but this dessert is his "exception." If you're looking for a step up from the regular strawberry shortcake...this is it...it's the frosting that makes it!
INGREDIENTS:

1 9X13 baked yellow cake
Sliced strawberries
Double cream cheese frosting

DOUBLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
2 oz cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons milk
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS:
  1. In chilled large bowl, mix cream cheese and milk until smooth.
  2. Beat in whipping cream and powered sugar with electric mixer on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until soft peaks form.
  3. On individual serving dishes place a piece of cake with a generous dollop of frosting, topped with sliced strawberries.
