⁉️ FAQ
Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.
It’s actually a variation of no-bake cheesecake. It has a bottom layer of sweet and tangy no-bake cheesecake with strawberries and a second layer of strawberry and coconut-flavored pudding.
When made with sliced strawberries, freezing this pie is not recommended. However, if you leave the sliced strawberries out, you can freeze it for up to 2 months.
It’s not recommended. Regular food coloring has more liquid, which can sometimes change the texture of your pie. Gel is thicker and won’t change the pie’s texture.
