FAQ
1. Can I make the filling ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the cheesecake filling up to 2 days in advance. Keep it refrigerated in a sealed container and fill the strawberries when ready to serve.
2. What can I use instead of graham crackers?
Try crushed vanilla wafers, shortbread cookies, or even red velvet cake crumbs for a festive touch.
3. How do I make them more decorative?
Use a star piping tip for a beautiful swirl effect and top each with a tiny piece of strawberry or a drizzle of chocolate.
