Pour 1/2 cup white chocolate chips into a small bowl and microwave it 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time. Once chips have melted, set bowl aside allowing the chocolate to cool just a little.
Using a stand mixer, place 12 oz of softened cream cheese inside and beat until smooth. Add 2 cups powdered sugar and mix on low until the two are well combined. Add 2 cups of thawed cool whip, orange juice, and the melted white chocolate. Add a dash of salt and then mix well, until the ingredients are nicely combined and the mixture is creamy and smooth. Carefully spoon the mixture over the crust. Wash, dry and slice 1 lb of strawberries. Then Lay them on top of the filling starting with the outside and working to the inside, overlapping. Melt 3 more Tablespoons of white chocolate in the microwave. Drizzle the chocolate over the top of the berries, you can use a small spoon to drizzle, or put the melted chocolate in a ziplock bag, cut the tip off and drizzle. Put in the fridge and chill for atleast 1 hr before serving. EnJOY!
