This was absolutely delicious. The crust was crumbly and perfect, and the texture of the cheesecake, fruit, and whipped cream was outstanding. Yum.

This was a combination of all of my favorite things: strawberries, pudding, whipped cream, and graham crackers. I could easily picture myself making this on the weekend and not being able to stop myself from having way too much. Love it.
