Step 1: Grease a shallow ovenproof dish (8-cup capacity).
Step 2: Place brioche in prepared dish and sprinkle with half the strawberries, reserving remaining strawberries for serving.
Step 3: Beat cream cheese in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and then add eggs, milk, cream, mixed spice and a 1/4 cup of the sugar and beat until combined and then pour into ovenproof dish, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour (this will allow the brioche to soak up the custard),
Step 4: Un-cover dish and sprinkle with remaining sugar and place dish in a large roasting pan and then add enough boiling water to pan to come halfway up the side of the dish.
Step 5: Cook in a moderately slow oven (160C) for about 50 minutes or until golden and set.
Step 6: Remove and let stand for 10 minutes and then serve hot pudding topped with reserved strawberries and whipped cream.
