My granddaughter, Maggie, loves Valentine’s Day, and I wanted to make her something all her own to celebrate her day with us. She loves dessert (what child doesn’t?) so I baked a heart-shaped graham cracker crust, added a no-bake cheesecake filling, and topped it off with strawberries and whipped cream…she was all smiles!

Awe, you are such a good Grandmother, Maggie was just happy to do something with you. This is a very good idea with the graham cracker crust, cheese cake topping with strawberries, simple and not so messy for the kids. Great post....:)
And glad ...more
