Although I had to modify this recipe to make in NZ using readily available ingredients and have posted it as 'No bake Strawberry Cheesecake', I have given credit to homegirl in my recipe introduction. (I also contacted her to make sure she was happy with me doing this) Thanks so much again for this recipe which my dh thinks is just the best. :)

This is a very tasty cheesecake, quite refreshing on a hot day. Used 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs for the crust which worked just fine. Didn't know if 12 oz. dessert topping was by weight or volume so I used 2 cups (500 mL). Took a star off for the directions, the finished cake was yummy. BTW make sure cake is level while setting in the fridge.
