In a small saucepan, combine strawberry gelatin, sugar and the boiling water. Add strawberries and lemon juice and mix well. Refrigerate. Stir every half hour until mixture mounds. Then whip the cream cheese in a separate bowl with the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and salt. In a third bowl whip the heavy cream to soft-peak stage.
