Story

This recipe reminds me of the strawberry cheesecake me and my mom used to make together. Those were some sweet times. I’ve always loved baking with my mother and looked forward to it. My mother was my inspiration and she is even today. When I make sweets, I always reflect back to the wonderful times we had together, and I surely miss that very much. The only difference in my recipe is that I’ve made it vegan and no-bake.
