Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Cookbook. This is what I call a healthy alternative to cheesecake. It feels and tastes like cheesecake in a dish. This dessert has a nice flavor to it and will cool you down in the hot weather and satisfy you after a big meal. I highly recommend swapping sour cream in place of the mayonnaise because you can taste the mayonnaise and the sour cream gives the strawberries and cream cheese a little more rich texture. I also recommend adding a touch of vanilla extract for a sweeter taste. You can use any kind of berry in this recipe wit hthe changes I suggested and it will be a delicious sweet treat.
