Strawberry Lemonade Cheesecake Recipes

Steps:

• For the crust: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing for a 2-inch overhang on the sides.
• Place the cookies in a resealable plastic bag. Seal and use a rolling pin or meat mallet to crush the cookies into fine crumbs. Pour into a bowl and add the granulated sugar, lemon zest and salt. Pour the melted butter into the bowl and mix thoroughly with a rubber spatula. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the baking dish in an even layer. Place in the freezer while you make the filling.
• For the filling: Beat the heavy cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
• Beat the cream cheese, vanilla and lemon zest and juice in a bowl until fluffy and light, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and sour cream. Beat until just combined, making sure there are no lumps. Fold in the whipped cream. Remove the crust from the freezer. Pour the mixture over the crust and spread in an even layer. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the baking dish. When ready to serve, arrange the strawberries on top and sprinkle some lemon zest over the top. Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Steps:

• For the cheesecake:
• Beat PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese and sweetened condensed milk in a medium bowl until smooth, then beat in gelatin mix, lemon zest, and lemon extract. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set up (I left mine overnight).
• For the strawberry topping:
• Combine all ingredients in a medium pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes. Let cool and store in fridge until ready to use. *Mixture will thicken upon cooling.
• For the graham cracker crust:
• Whisk graham cracker crumbs and sugar together, then drizzle in melted butter and combine until mixture is uniform.
• To assemble cheesecake shooters:
• Add 1 Tbsp or so of graham cracker crust to the bottom of a small glass or shot glass. Top with 2 Tbsp cheesecake mixture, then 1 Tbsp of strawberry topping. Serve immediately. Images do not match method of preparation. Looks like two layers.
• Note: For a more traditional looking cheesecake, press the entirety of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate. Fill with cheesecake mixture, then top with strawberry topping. Place in fridge to set up for four hours before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-inch springform pan.
• Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup melted butter, and 1/3 cup white sugar in a bowl until well mixed; press into the prepared springform pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Beat cream cheese and ricotta cheese together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 3 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cup white sugar; beat on low speed until well blended, about 2 minutes.
• Stir 1/2 cup melted butter, cornstarch, flour, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract into cream cheese mixture until combined. Gently stir eggs, 1 at a time, into mixture; fold in sour cream just until batter is mixed. Pour batter over the crust. Pour strawberry pie filling over the batter. Gently swirl strawberry pie filling into batter using a butter knife just enough to form a swirl pattern on the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven without opening the door for 1 hour 15 minutes. Turn off oven and leave cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour more.
• Remove cheesecake form oven and cool on a wire rack for 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate cheesecake, 6 hours to overnight. Remove springform and slice.
