For a richer flavor, consider using a shortbread crust. If strawberry juice isn't available, you can substitute with water, though the strawberry flavor will be less intense. Consider adding a drop or two of red food coloring to enhance the visual appeal. Make sure the cream cheese is truly at room temperature for a smooth and lump-free base. This recipe also works beautifully with raspberries or blackberries. Adjust the juice accordingly.
