3/4 cup coconut oil
1 tbsp vanilla extract

Pour filling on top of crust, smooth out the top with a spatula, following by placing in the freezer for an hour to solidify and obtain its shape.
For the sauce, in a blender add strawberries and agave and blend until smooth. place liquid mixture in squeeze bottle or simply use a spoon to apply over top of cheesecake, once it has been removed from the freezer.
Keep refrigerated. Enjoy!
