Cheesecake Whipped Cream
  1. Using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, pudding mix, and powdered sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Move this to a ziploc bag and cut a large slit in one corner.

    4. Finish with the remaining pretzels and fresh strawberries as a garnish.
