CHEESECAKE STUFFED STRAWBERRY RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325º and grease a 9” springform pan with cooking spray.  Make cheesecake mixture: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar until combined. Add eggs and beat until combined, then add sour cream, vanilla and lemon zest.  Make crust: Stir together graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar, and salt until completely moist. Spray a 9” springform pan with cooking spray and press graham mixture into prepared pan until packed. Pour cheesecake mixture over crust. Bake until slightly jiggly in the center, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Let cool 1 hour in oven, then refrigerate until completely cool, at least 4 hours and up to overnight. Make glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberry preserves and lemon juice. Whisk constantly until the mixture is smooth. Top the cheesecake with strawberries, then brush the glaze over strawberries. Slice into wedges and serve cold.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Press cookie dough evenly in bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch pan. If dough is sticky, use floured fingers. (DO NOT EAT RAW COOKIE DOUGH AFTER PRESSING DOUGH IN PAN WITH FLOURED FINGERS.)
• In large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed after each, just until blended. (Don’t overbeat.) Spread cream cheese filling in pan over dough.
• Place jam in small resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut off small corner of bag. Squeeze jam on cream cheese mixture in 5 thick lines the length of the pan.
• Use knife to pull all jam lines from top to bottom through cream cheese mixture at 1-inch intervals.
• Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until filling is set in center. Remove from oven to cooling rack. Cool 30 minutes. Refrigerate at least 1 1/2 hours. To serve, cut into 6 rows by 3 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.
