Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe The Ingredients 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs 2 tablespoons sugar 3 tablespoons of melted butter 3 packages of 8 oz softened cream cheese 1 cup sugar 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 tablespoons of cornstarch 1 cup of diced strawberries 3 large eggs 1 tub (8 ounce) Cool Whip 2 cups of fresh of sliced strawberries

Directions

Preheat Oven at 375°F.  To prepare the crust, stir together in a bowl the graham cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons of sugar.  Mix in melted butter and turn into a 9 inch springform pan.  A little oil on your fingers helps to keep the crust from sticking to your fingers.  Bake in a 375°F oven for 10 minutes.  Let Cool. 

Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F.  Next, mix softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl.  Gradually add in the 1 cup sugar, beating until fluffy.  Add 2 grated lemon peel and vanilla.  Beat in eggs, one at a time.  Next, stir in gently the diced strawberries. 

Pour into the shell and bake for about 1 hour, or until the center is set.  Cool on wire rack for about an hour and let chill for 3 hours or until cheesecake is firm. 

For the topping, mix together the Cool Whip and 2 cups of fresh sliced strawberries in a bowl.  Spread on cheesecake.  Serve your Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe.
