"Strawberries are dipped in a prepared no-bake cheesecake mixture. After it sets, the berries are dipped in melted chocolate to create the second layer."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 15mins
• Ingredients: 3
• Serves: 10

ingredients

• 1 (11 ounce) box of no-bake cheesecake
• 2 (16 ounce) packages of medium to large strawberries, cleaned but with the green tops still attatched
• 1 (7 ounce) container of baker's brand chocolate, pieces for dipping fruit

directions

1. Wash and dry strawberries; they must be completely dry before beginning.
2. Lay them out on trays or cookie sheets covered with wax paper, spacing them about 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart.
3. Prepare the cheesecake mix according to directions on the box.
4. Let mixture set for 3-5 minutes at room temperature, until it thickens slightly.
5. Grab the strawberries, one at a time by their tops, and dip them into the cheesecake mix, covering them to just under where to leafy tops rest.
6. Place back on the tray and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes. This will help set the cheesecake.
7. After this time, remove the tray from the refrigerator, and set aside.
8. Melt the chocolate for dipping as directed on the package.
9. Take the strawberries, and while the chocolate is still runny, dip the cheesecake-covered strawberries, one by one, into it, creating a second (chocolate) layer.
10. Place the strawberries back on the tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until ready to serve.
