Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe


I haven’t posted a dessert recipe for awhile and strawberry cheesecake is the perfect recipe to pick things back up. I found this cheesecake had great flavor but I was a little disappointed on how the strawberry swirls turned out. Oh well, I guess I need some practice. I feel the lemon juice adds a nice touch to the flavor of the cheesecake and goes well with the strawberries. The crust is just your classic graham cracker crust. This cheesecake is sure to please almost anyone and is very easy to make. Enjoy.

I have made this and it was very good. I was a little confused about dropping the remaining strawberry sauce on. I guess it should have said the strawberry sauce that was set aside..I didnt add all of it and it was delicious and pretty

Looks absolutely scrumptious! If you stir less you may be able to improve the swirl.
