Easy Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe


STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE POKE CAKE









Yes, I have another strawberry dessert for you. We loved this cheesecake and strawberry cake. We just can't stop eating these delicious Florida strawberries! I decided to add a layer of cheesecake to this poke cake. I still made a little traditional jello but I used half of it in the layer of creamy cheesecake.









To start, make your favorite white cake. I used a mixture of boxes and the egg white version. Then I made my jello and only used a cup of water there. Half goes on the cake and the other half goes into the cheesecake filling. When it comes out of the oven, poke holes all over the top of the cake. Pour half of the jello over then spread the cheesecake layer over it when the cake has cooled.
