Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Add the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter to a medium bowl and mix well.
• Transfer the crumbs to a 9-inch pie dish and press evenly against the bottom and up the sides.
• Bake the crust for 5-10 minutes, until firm.
• Remove the crust from the oven and let cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
• Make the filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese and beat until smooth. Add the sour cream and beat on medium speed until well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as neede. Add the sugar and beat to combine.

Steps:

• Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and butter in a bowl. Press onto the bottom of an ungreased 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Place strawberries and cornstarch into a blender. Cover and puree until smooth. Pour strawberry sauce into a saucepan.
• Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil and stir until sauce is thick and shiny, about 2 minutes. Set aside 1/3 cup strawberry sauce; cool. Cover and refrigerate remaining sauce for serving.

Mix in lemon juice and vanilla extract, then beat in eggs on low speed until just combined. Pour half of cream cheese mixture over crust; drop half of reserved strawberry sauce by 1/2 teaspoonfuls on cream cheese layer. Carefully spoon remaining cream cheese mixture over sauce; drop remaining strawberry sauce by 1/2 teaspoonfuls on top. Cut through top layer only with a knife to swirl strawberry sauce.
• Bake in preheated oven until center is almost set, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight. Serve reserved strawberry sauce with cheesecake. If the sauce it too thick, stir in water.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Place a greased 9-in. springform pan on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square). Wrap foil securely around pan., In a small bowl, mix pecans and wafer crumbs; stir in butter. Press onto bottom and 1/2 in. up sides of prepared pan., In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1-1/3 cups sugar until smooth. Beat in 2 teaspoons vanilla. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until blended. Pour into crust. Place springform pan in a larger baking pan; add 1 in. of hot water to larger pan., Bake until center is almost set, 65-75 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes on a wire rack. In a small bowl, mix sour cream and remaining sugar and vanilla; spread over top of cheesecake. Bake 5 minutes longer., Remove springform pan from water bath. Cool cheesecake on a wire rack 10 minutes. Loosen sides from pan with a knife; remove foil. Cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight, covering when completely cooled., In a small saucepan, whisk cornstarch and liqueur until smooth. Stir in spreadable fruit; bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally., Remove rim from springform pan. Arrange strawberries over cheesecake; top with some of the glaze, allowing glaze to drip down sides. Refrigerate until glaze is set, about 1 hour. To serve, gently warm remaining glaze; serve with cheesecake.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Take your springform pan, and grease the inside, then wrap the bottom outside and bottom outside edges with tin foil (this will ensure your cake batter does not leak out). Mix together cake mix with suggested ingredients, along with strawberry jello mix. After thoroughly mixed, pour into greased pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes, then remove from pan, and set aside to cool.
• 2. In mixer, whip your cream cheese and sugar. Once cream cheese/sugar is soft, mix in one egg at a time, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl after each ingredient is added. Then mix in your flour, vanilla, and lemon juice. Lower oven temp to 300 degrees. Pour cheesecake batter into springform pan (no need to clean it even if some cake crumbs are still in it. It is nicely greased for the cheesecake), set pan on a baking sheet in the oven, and pour 2 cups of water into baking sheet, creating a water bath. Bake for 70 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool 25 minutes, then place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
• 3. While cheesecake is cooling, slice up your 2 cups of strawberries and set them aside. Puree your other two cups of strawberries, and pour into a small sauce pan, and turn on to medium high. Add sugar and lemon, stir until dissolved. Once at a simmer, in a cup, whisk together corn starch and 2 tablespoons of cold water. Slowly pour cornstarch mixture into simmering strawberries, whisking the entire time. Once thickened, remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled, set aside half of the glaze, and fold other half of the glaze into sliced strawberries and set aside.
• 4. Clean and dry your mixer. Put softened cream cheese and butter into mixer, and whip. Scrape down sides and bottom. Pour in vanilla and sugar. Whip for 30 seconds or so. Then, pour in whipping cream and whip on high for 1-2 minutes. Frosting will become light and fluffy, just like whipped cream (but not as light). Set aside.
• 5. With a long bread knife, slice your strawberry cake in half. If you like, before you do this, place in freezer for 20 minutes first, to reduce crumb amount. Dab a little frosting on plate your cake will be sitting on, and lay down your first layer of cake. Take your glaze that was set aside (without the sliced strawberries), and spread about half of that on top of cake. Very carefully, place your cooled cheesecake on top of cake layer. Spread the rest of plain glaze on the cheesecake layer. Then place last second layer of cake on top of that. Frost edges of cake, pour sliced strawberry glaze mix on top of the cake, not spreading it to the edges, then with piping bag, pipe frosting around edges to contain strawberry topping.
• 6. You can now either eat the cake, or refrigerate for a few hours before serving. Either way, enjoy a nice thick slice-- you earned it!! =)

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Crust: stir together graham cracker crumbs and sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place strawberries in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with corn syrup, and toss gently to coat. Bake until syrup thickens and strawberries turn deep red and shrink slightly, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Transfer strawberries and syrup to a medium bowl, and mash with a potato masher. Let cool completely.
• Raise oven temperature to 350 degrees. Stir together graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and the melted butter in a small bowl. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to make an even layer. Bake until crust is firm to the touch and has just darkened, about 10 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack, and let crust cool completely.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Put cream cheese into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium-low speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl, then gradually add remaining cup sugar and the salt. Scrape down sides of bowl; add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down sides of bowl, and mix in vanilla bean seeds and mascarpone until very creamy and no lumps remain, about 3 minutes. (Reserve vanilla bean for another use.)
• Transfer 5 cups cream cheese mixture to bowl with mashed strawberries; stir to combine. Pour strawberry-cream cheese mixture on top of crust; smooth with an offset spatula. Carefully spoon dollops of plain cream cheese mixture on top, smoothing with an offset spatula.
• Wrap the exterior of the springform pan in 2 layers of foil; set in a large roasting pan. Fill roasting pan with boiling water until water reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake cheesecake until set, about 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Remove springform pan from water bath, and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours (up to overnight).
