Basic Cheesecake Recipe with Strawberry Topping

July 8, 2012 - 1 Comment

{Pin This}

When Fred Meyer had cream cheese for $0.99 I stocked up! A few weeks ago I made homemade cheesecake for a dinner we were having with friends a few weeks ago and it was a HUGE hit! Everyone loved it. It was pretty easy too. You just have to plan ahead so the cheesecake can bake for an hour and cool sufficiently before topping and serving. I baked my cheesecake the night before to give it plenty of time to cool.

INGREDIENTS for Cheesecake crust:

1 ¼ Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs (about 15 squares)
2 Tablespoons Sugar
3 Tablespoons melted Butter or Margarine

INGREDIENTS for Cheesecake batter:

19 oz Cream Cheese (2 ½ packages)
1 Cup Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
2 Teaspoons grated lemon peel (optional)
3 Eggs

INGREDIENTS for Cheesecake topping:

2 ½ Quarts Strawberries
1 Cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
1 Cup Boiling Water
1 (3 oz) package of Strawberry flavored Gelatin (Jell-o)

Keep in mind that this is a basic cheesecake recipe and you can top it with pretty much anything you like. So if strawberries are not your thing you can use another berry or chocolate or caramel or whipped topping. Top with anything you like.

First crush your graham crackers. Crushing graham crackers can be really easy with this simple tip. Place graham crackers in a Ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin. I always use my pastry pin which I love!

In a bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter and press into the bottom of a springform pan. I use a Nordic Ware Springform Pan. Bake for 10 minutes at 350º. Let cool.
