tips & tricks

Make sure you whip up the strawberry cheesecake filling ahead of time so it has time to chill before use. And enjoy using it in or on all kinds of other things too.
Use mini waffles or mini french toast for an easy assembly and easy to serve treat. However these can also be made on full sized waffles or french toast and cut into slices or wedges and served that way too.
