Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 50 min. + chilling

Yield: 12 Servings

30 50 80

Ingredients

CRUST:
3/4 cup ground pecans
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons butter, melted
FILLING:
4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
4 eggs
1-1/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
TOPPING:
2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
STRAWBERRY GLAZE:
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1 jar (12 ounces) strawberry jelly
3 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur or lemon juice
Red food coloring, optional
1 quart whole fresh strawberries, hulled

Directions

Combine pecans, crumbs and butter. Press onto the bottom of a 10-in. springform pan. Set aside.
For filling, beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Beat well. Spoon over crust.
Bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until filling is almost set. Let stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, for topping, combine the sour cream, sugar and vanilla. Spread over cheesecake and return to the oven for 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate 24 hours.
Several hours before serving, prepare glaze. In a saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Add jelly and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until jelly is melted and the mixture has thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in liqueur and food coloring if desired. Cool to room temperature.
Just before serving, loosen and remove sides of springform pan. Arrange strawberries on top with pointed ends up. Spoon glaze over berries, allowing some to drip down sides of cake. Serve immediately. Yield: 12 servings.

Made this for my nieces 30th birthday party, everyone went crazy over it. I only made a few changes, I used the already graham crumbs you can buy in box already crushed and no peacans. Then for the orange liquer or flavoring i used orange juice. Turned out soo good, i made it a day in ahalf to get it really cold, then made topping few hours before party.

This is a great dessert to wow your friends with, I always make it with fresh, local strawberries.

I used a plain cheesecake from Costco without the border whipped cream. Then jumped to the Glaze topping. Added 3 Tbls. Grand Marnier for the liqueur.
