4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
3 cups strawberries, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Combine half of the milk and the 2 egg yolks in a small heavy saucepan and stir well with a whisk. Heat milk mixture to 180 degrees F or until tiny bubbles form around edge of pan, stirring frequently (do not boil). Remove mixture from heat. Add cheese, stirring until smooth.
