White Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake

Hi Everyone, were you just thinking you'd like a bite of cheesecake without the bother of water baths or a hot kitchen?

Today i would like to share the cheesecake that don't require baking. Satisfy your sweet tooth without heating up your kitchen.

You could prepare the cheesecake base and freeze it in the graham cracker crust on  one day, and then plan on serving it the next.

This is a classic, scrumptious strawberry cheesecake laced with orange liqueur ( or frozen orange concentrate) and garnished with cut strawberries around the side. And it's easy crazy to make.

This strawberry/ orange cheesecake is a gland slam. yum yum.......

Enjoy!
