Serving: Slice the cheesecake into generous portions and serve chilled with extra strawberry topping if desired. It’s perfect for gatherings, holidays, or just a sweet indulgence!

Variations
Berry Topping: Use other berries like blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a mixed berry topping.
Chocolate Drizzle: For a decadent twist, drizzle some melted chocolate over the top along with the strawberries.
No-Bake Version: If you prefer a no-bake cheesecake, use gelatin or agar-agar to set the filling instead of baking.
