Spectacular strawberry cheesecake that doesn't require kneading dough: it's based on regular cookies.

Cheesecakes are much easier to make than many popular cakes. For this dessert, you don't need to knead the dough, because ordinary cookies will do for the base. Add any of your favorite fruits or berries to the top, but strawberries are, of course, the most delicious.

The idea of making strawberry cheesecake from cookies was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Tata Chudnova (chudnova.food). It's perfect for family tea parties.
