Higher Protein Key Lime Cheesecake Strawberry Shortcakes

Last week, I volunteered to make supper for the in-laws, so I fixed some easy fish tacos in the hopes that it would make everyone happy. Blackened Tilapia Fish Taco recipe is HERE

I served the fish tacos alongside some roasted zucchini and red pepper. For dessert, I mixed up some simple strawberry shortcakes with a little key lime cheesecake yogurt to boost the protein content for satiety.  

Trust me, nobody will know they are:
A) made with yogurt
b) remotely healthy

This dessert was a hit, so I thought I would share my recipe here.
