This very smooth, fruity cheesecake is quick and easy to assemble. It is so creamy-good! I have made this cheesecake many times. It's always a treat and can be made year round because I like to use unsweetened frozen strawberries. NOTE - Only the crust is baked, however, if you prefer to leave it unbaked, freeze the crust and then put the filling in. In this case, I would toast the ground almonds lightly in a nonstick pan.
