Is the heat getting to you? Don’t let it! When I was a kid, I used to freeze my t-shirts and wear them to school…that wasn’t always a good idea! What’s a great idea is this Fruity Frozen Cheesecake. A great thing about this recipe is that you can always mix and match your fruits to your liking. Since it’s strawberry and cherry season, we can easily experiment with those two fruits. This cheesecake can easily become a summer tradition! Lesson to be learned: freeze cheesecakes, not t-shirts!
