This year for Valentine’s Day I made Cheesecake with Strawberry sauce. Really easy to make, I actaully overcooked the cheesecake by a bit but it still tasted great! The sauce is super easy as well to make , you can pour it over the entire cheesecake or individually serve the sauce over servings as you get them. I personally like the sauce warm though my family likes it cold when served, either way is fine. Let’s just jump right into the recipes!
