Do you have a style? How would you describe your style? I keep thinking of that since I don’t think I have one. Well, nothing that I can specifically pinpoint. I love what I feel comfortable in (duh!) so it can really vary depending on my mood and what I am doing. But the style I love the most is what you would call “preppy”.
Basically, my ‘vibe is anything that is covered with a nautical print or lobsters. Thankfully, my friend Nichole let me know about a ton of awesome lobster stuff at Old Navy now. I just placed an order and everything in it had lobsters on it. I even broke my #1 rule and paid for shipping (UGH!) just to get it here faster than the standard free shipping. A lobster print bathing suit… I can’t wait!!!
Anyway, I am also really excited to share this Brownie Bottom Fluffy Cheesecake with a Homemade Strawberry Sauce with you all. It comes together with a brownie and a quick, no-bake cheesecake filling. Then it’s served with a simple strawberry sauce. When I was dreaming up this dessert I was trying to think of something that everyone would enjoy and everyone could make. It can’t get much simpler than using a mix and not having to bake the cheesecake filling.
Even the Homemade Strawberry Sauce is low maintenance. It’s just 2 ingredients- strawberries and sugar. Just let the sugar and berries simmer together over low heat so that berries get nice and soft. A syrupy sauce is made from the sugar and natural pectin in the strawberries. Besides
I love that cheesecakes are traditionally served with a fruit topping. However, I don’t love that most of them come from a can. You know, those jiggly syrupy bright red globby messes. That is exactly why I made that Homemade Strawberry Sauce to serve with the cheesecake.
Thankfully, I have awesome neighbors who will happily take desserts like this Brownie Bottom Fluffy Cheesecake with a Homemade Strawberry Sauce off my hands. I handed some over our fence to one neighbor and then I just needed to send a text msg another to walked over. They left with half a cheesecake and the fresh strawberry sauce. Gotta share, spread that cheesecake love!
Even if you’re not a great baker, you can make and enjoy this Brownie Bottom Fluffy Cheesecake with a Homemade Strawberry Sauce. You’ll be able to wow guests with this awesome cheesecake. Or, at least, you have something yummy to eat while in your PJ’s while you watch a movie. 😛
