👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Strawberries: Dice your fresh strawberries and simmer them in a pan with a little keto sweetener until they break down into a thick, jam-like consistency. 🍓🔥🥇

- The Strawberry Swirl: Pour your cooled strawberry compote over the cheesecake layer, spreading it evenly to cover the top. 🍓🎨✨
- Chill Out: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together. ⏲️❄️💎
