Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe

The strawberry cheesecake is one of the most popular of all cheesecakes. Finding a strawberry cheesecake recipe is one of the easiest to find. There are dozens and dozens of variations of the strawberry cheesecake. They vary from very difficult to extremely easy. If you are a little hesitant about baking a cheesecake, making a simple one will help you to build confidence until you are ready to tackle the harder ones.

A very simple strawberry cheesecake recipe is always a crowd pleaser. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Even though the strawberry cheesecake recipe is simple, you can still make a homemade crust. Stir together one and a half cups graham cracker crumbs. The crumbs are very easy to make. Put the graham crackers in a freezer bag and pound with a wooden mallet. It's kind of fun actually. Beat out your aggressions. Stir the graham cracker crumbs with three tablespoons sugar, and 4 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until smooth. Press the mixture into a nine inch spring form pan. Bake for ten minutes. Make sure the crust is cool before putting in the cream cheese mixture.

Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees. The filling is very simple. Beat nineteen ounces of softened cream cheese in a large bowl. Slowly add one cup of sugar and beat until smooth and creamy. Add 2 teaspoons lemon peel. If you don't have a zester, you need to get one. You only zest the yellow of the lemon. Never use the white part of the lemon because it is very bitter and will ruin the cheesecake. Add one half teaspoon vanilla and blend until mixed. Add three eggs one at a time. Beat at medium speed until each egg is fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust.

Bake the cheesecake for one hour or until the center is almost set. Don't open the oven door while the cheesecake is baking. If you don't trust your oven, peek through the window. Opening the oven promotes cracking and uneven browning. When the cheesecake is cooked, place it on a wire rack and cool for at least an hour. Be sure to run a sharp knife around the spring form pan after about fifteen minutes out of the oven. That will make removing the side much easier. Don't remove the side until the cheesecake is cooled.

When the cheesecake is cooled at least to room temperature, you can put on the glaze. Blend one cup sugar and three tablespoons cornstarch in a small saucepan. Stir in one third cup water and one cup mashed strawberries. Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir for one minute. Cool completely and then spread on cooled cheesecake. You may even want to decorate your cheesecake plate with some fresh strawberries or fresh mint as accents. Cheesecakes are better served after they have cooled overnight. Enjoy the easy ones before you decide to branch out into the tough ones.
