Strawberry Cheesecake

Happy Memorial Day! In search of something festive, I found this! (hey, it's at least white and red) This is my first cheesecake and it's SUPER simple.
Be warned: it is not your traditional dense NY cheesecake. It is really more of a fluffy, cream pie-type thing... But it is super rich and magically delicious.

Ingredients:

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
9 inch graham cracker crust
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
8 oz Cool Whip
12ish strawberries, hulled and halved/quartered lengthwise (after tasting it, it would go well with any type of berry, really. Especially blackberries... ooh...)

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, whip cream cheese, vanilla extract, and sugar with a mixer until fluffy.
2. Add Cool Whip and whip until smooth.
3. Spoon mixture into pie crust and chill for a few hours in the fridge until firm. (Careful spooning it in the crust; make sure to spread it to the edges)
4. Arrange strawberries on top and serve.

Thanks to Kelly from Eat Yourself Skinny for the recipe.
