Strawberry cheesecake
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The strawberry cheesecake is made without flour. For the cheesecake base, we will use ready-made meringues. Cream cheese can be replaced with ricotta. And it's best to use fresh, sweet strawberries. The finished dessert can be served immediately.
