Tips

They need to be stored in the refrigerator. I've also made this before and blended two strawberries up and mixed that into the cheesecake mix. I've found that I'll just eat the strawberries first if I just place them on top and am disappointed when they're gone. This guarantees some strawberry in each bite. This is really good if the crust is made with Oreo cookies as well, but I use less sugar and just soften up the butter to where it's nearly melted to prevent the Oreo bit from looking greasy. And put some crushed Oreo cookies plain (without sugar and butter) into the cheesecake mix and you have a nice cookies-and-cream cheesecake.
