To prepare the filling:

With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese for 2 minutes until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla and beat for another 2-3 minutes until smooth, and creamy. Scrape down the bowl once or twice to make sure all lumps are incorporated.
In a separate bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with the hand mixer to firm peaks.

Set aside the topping to cool. Once cool, place in an air tight container and chill until ready to serve the cheesecake.
To slice, use a sharp knife, wiping it clean in between slices. Top the cheesecake bars with a spoonful of the strawberry topping.
