Strawberry Cheesecake

Today I am going to share my favorite dessert, Strawberry Cheesecake! This is one of those family recipes and I have been eating for as long as I can remember! My mom makes it almost every time we come home and I honestly can never get enough.

Mix together:

-1 cup flower -1/2 cup melted butter -1/2 cup chopped nuts -1/4 cup packed brown sugar

Pack into a 9X13 inch pan and back for 15 minutes until brown. Cool, then crumble in the pan.

This is basically a picture of what not to do! Normally you would chop of the nuts finer but I still need to invest in a chopper (does anyone else have a huge list of kitchen gadgets that they want?) Also bake it till it's a little browner than in this picture.

Mix together until smooth:

-2 8oz. packages cream cheese -2 cups powdered sugar -2 package prepared Dreamwhip (2 come in a box)

Spread over crumbs and then layer with 2 packs of sliced strawberries.

Make 1 package of Strawberry Danish Dessert. Use 2 cups of water and follow cooking directions on box. Pour on top of dessert and put in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
