This week I wanted to make something easy but still delicious. So this week I went with a no bake cheesecake. To make it even easier I used a store-bought graham cracker pie crust.
It was a hit with my husband, who said "no more store bought cheesecake."
If you make it let me know if your family loved it too.
Place on a cooling rack. Let the cookies cool about 20 minutes.
Spread out the cheesecake filling. Toppings are optional. I melted chocolate chips. I used about a cup (I measured with my heart) and a teaspoon of shortening. I also cut up 1 - 1 1/2 cups of strawberries. I love strawberries but not everyone here does. So we just put them on our own piece of cheesecake.
😻😺🙀Mishaps are my favorite 🙀😺😻
I don't know how I manage to always have mishaps, but here we are again. This time when I lifted the cheesecake up the tin folded. I was laughing afterwards. I thought this week would be easy. The second mishap was totally my fault. I was impatient and wanted to cut a piece for pictures instead of letting it set in the fridge for a while. It didn't look great but it tasted amazing.
