YUM... I have to admit, I LOVE cheesecake. Funny thing is.. I hated it growing up, you couldn't make me eat anything with cream cheese. Boy, am I glad I changed my mind.
Strawberry swirl cheesecake
Crust:
12 graham crackers
6 T melted butter
Filling:
2 1/2 pkgs. of 8 oz creams cheese softened
1 C. sugar
3 eggs
1 egg white
2 T. flour
1 t. vanilla extract
3 T. sour cream
strawberries
Preheat oven to 400. Throw graham crackers in food processor or blender and blend until crushed. Add the melted butter and mix. Press into a spring form pan, firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake in oven for 10 minutes. Then pull out.
In a bowl, mix cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add sugar and blend well. Add eggs and the yolk, one at a time, mixing well with each addition. Blend in the flour, vanilla and sour cream and mix until smooth. Pour batter evenly over crust.
Puree strawberries (about 10) and then dot the mixture over the top of batter, take a knife and gently swirl the puree into the batter.
Place pan into the oven and bake for 10 minutes at 400, then reduce heat t0 250 and bake an additional hour and 30 minutes or until a knife comes of clean when inserted into the middle. Once cheesecake has cooled, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Strawberry sauce
For the sauce, I just blended a bunch of strawberries, added sugar (the more you use the sweeter it will be) and then heated on the oven until it started to boil. Then cool and drizzle on cake.
