No Bake Cheesecake?
This is a no bake cheesecake recipe. There are two varieties of cheesecake, baked and no-bake (chilled) cheesecake. Baked cheesecake tends to be dense and smooth and chilled cheesecake is lighter. No-bake cheesecakes are made without eggs and therefore don't need to be baked. They are easy to layer. No-bake cheesecakes require refrigeration to set.

I cannot find strawberry pudding. Could I add mashed strawberries to vanilla pudding?
