Directions
The whipped topping (like Cool Whip) will be frozen when you bring it home from the market. Put it in your refrigerator for at least 3 hours to thaw. Using your mixer, blend the cream cheese, vanilla and sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping, using the rubber spatula. Gently incorporate the topping into the cream cheese mixture.
Spoon the mixture into the graham cracker crust. Refrigerate four hours or overnight. Before serving, arrange strawberries decoratively on top of the cheesecake. Spoon strawberry glaze (found in the produce section) on individual dessert plates and place cheesecake slice on top. Garnish with strawberries and mint.
