Wash and hull the strawberries, then place them in the bowl of a food processor along with 1 tablespoon of sugar and puree them. Set aside.
Combine the cream cheese, liqueur, vanilla, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or hand-held electric mixer. Beat on medium-high speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add the heavy cream and beat on low speed, then increase the speed to high, beat until thickened, about 2 minutes.

Next, add a few spoonfuls of the strawberries puree on top of the cream cheese mixture and then another layer of Cream cheese mixture on top of the strawberries.
Repeat layers until the serving glasses are full. To finish off, top the Strawberry Cheesecake Parfait with a spoonful of Cream cheese mixture. Serve right away or refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Enjoy!

How to Store

Make-Ahead
The cream cheese mixture can be made and refrigerated a day in advance. Then, assemble the Strawberry Cheesecake Parfait for up to 2 hours before serving.
