Strawberry Fluff No Bake Cheesecake
As a child I remember having a dish of cut up strawberries or strawberry shortcake. We only ate them when they were in season, and never year round. This time of year strawberries are available locally grown from farmers, supermarkets, etc… Fresh locally grown strawberries are the best one to cook/bake with.
This year, I was tasked with bringing dessert to our family meal on Canada Day. Since strawberry season is in full swing here, I decided to make this Strawberry Fluff No Bake Cheesecake. It is the perfect ix of fluffy and sweet.
You can make your graham cracker crust, as noted below, or simply buy a premade pie shell you can purchase.
We doubled the recipe and made it in a 9X13 pan. Line pan with tinfoil for easy removal for cutting after set.
