Ingredients

2 1/3 cups Original Bisquick™ mix
2/3 cup milk
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 lb fresh strawberries, sliced

Steps:

Heat oven to 400°F. Line 13 x 9-inch pan with cooking parchment paper, or spray with cooking spray.
In medium bowl, mix crust ingredients. Use a greased spatula or your fingers to press dough evenly into pan. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until it just begins to turn golden brown; cool.
While crust is cooling, in large bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and the vanilla 2 to 3 minutes or until smooth and creamy. In medium bowl, beat whipping cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into cheesecake mixture in 2 additions.
Place sliced strawberries in even layer on top of cooled crust. Spread filling on top. Refrigerate 2 hours before slicing and serving. Top with additional whipped cream and strawberries, if desired.
