The desert is a play on the iconic baked feta pasta recipe that became an Internet sensation recently and uses the same concept – having a cheese (in this case, cream cheese) in the middle surrounded by the fruit (with the dessert leveraging strawberries in place of tomatoes). To create the Strawberry Cheesecake Bake, put a block of cream cheese in the middle of a baking dish and surround it with strawberries. Sprinkle white chocolate chips atop and bake for 20 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit. After mixing, serve the dish on a scone, pancakes, or by itself.
