  1. Could you add cream cheese to this to give it a strawberry cheesecake- ish flavor? I bake at home, but unprofessionally so sorry if the questions dumb. My friends birthday is coming up and they love strawberry stuff. Thank you in advance for your time!

    1. I have never tried that. If you do, you might reduce the amount of frosting. Let me know if it works!

  2. Please offer vegan substitutions for those of us who want & need healthier options (food allergies, diabetes, heart disease for example).
    Thank you

    1. I am not a vegan baker, nor am I gluten free or sugar free. So I do not provide recipes as such. You’ll need to find a vegan blog.

  5. I made this recipe from another site for orange creamsicle fudge. I used 1 PKG of unsweetened orange Koolaid in half the mixture instead of orange extract and orange food coloring. It was awesome. Going to try strawberry Koolaid next.
