Notes
If making ahead of time, you can brush the strawberries with a little simple syrup to keep them looking fresh.
Vanilla frosting was used in the photos, but whipped cream (cool whip) would have a better balance of sweetness (it just doesn't hold the definition a tip when being piped)
Do not allow these to sit out at room temperature, they are not shelf stable and are meant to be served cold.
This can be made as a 9 inch cheesecake by doubling all of the ingredients and letting set in the fridge for 4-6 hours.
