step 2: Add the Filling

Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly over the pound cake, making sure every bite gets plenty of strawberries.

Step 3: Layer the Cheesecake

Carefully spread the no bake cheesecake filling over the strawberry layer until smooth.

Step 4: Finish with Cool Whip

Spread the Cool Whip evenly across the top. Feel free to use fresh whip cream if desired.

Step 5: Garnish and REFRIGERATE

Garnish with strawberries.

Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving so the layers can set and the flavors come together.

Pro Tips

Although it's tempting to dig in right away, chilling for at least one hour helps the cheesecake firm up and makes slicing much easier.
Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread each layer without mixing them together.
This dessert actually tastes even better after several hours in the refrigerator, making it perfect for preparing the night before a gathering.
Top with fresh sliced strawberries, crushed graham crackers, white chocolate shavings, or mint leaves for an extra special presentation.
