- Springform Pan: Double the graham crackers measurement and crush into fine crumbs and mix with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and press into a springform pan. Make the cheesecake filling doubling or tripling the ingredients. Spread over crust and chill for 4 hours or over night. Top with one pound sliced strawberries.

- Make Ahead: After making the cheesecake filling, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days. Use the creamy cheesecake filling to make the layered no bake cheesecakes with real strawberries just before serving.
