Strawberry Cheesecake- No Bake
First of all, let me take this opportunity to wish all my readers a Fabulous New Year. How about starting the New Year on a sweet note? I had been eagerly looking forward to the strawberry season so that I could tick off some of the must try recipes from my list. Strawberry Cheesecake was one of those. As luck would have it, I had just made some Mascarpone cheese at home. So after checking the ingredients’ list, all I had to do was start the preparation. How I wish we got sweet berries in this part of the country !! I am sure the cheesecake would have tasted even better.
I got the recipe from Woman Home. Here’s the recipe.
