Strawberry Cheesecake
Strawberry Cheesecake is my favorite dessert, well my favorite food for that matter. I made this for my son’s birthday (my middle son turned 15!) a few weeks ago and it was so good I had to make another one last week. I would like to eat cheesecake every week but I don’t like the treadmill that much.
I also wanted to share this recipe with you as a celebration of this little blog turning two this week! I have learned so much and met so many great friends, not to mention the many opportunities that I have had.
I read and appreciate every email and comment and I love the interacting with you on facebook, twitter, and pinterest. I hope you continue to stop in and see what’s been going on in my kitchen!
Also if you somehow missed the avocado giveaway, head on over and enter!
Thanks so much and I hope you get a chance to celebrate with this cheesecake, it is fantastic!

- 1 cup sour cream
topping:
- 16 oz strawberries (I used frozen, sliced)
- 1/2 cup strawberry preserves
Cooking Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Place graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter into a small bowl and combine. Press into a 9 or 10 inch springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Place cream cheese into mixer bowl and beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy.
Combine sugar and flour in a small bowl,add to cream cheese mixture and continue to beat until combined. With mixer running, add eggs one at a time, beating until incorporated.
Add vanilla and sour cream, beat 2 minutes, scraping down sides and bottom if necessary.
Pour over prepared crust. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until center is set. Remove from oven to wire rack to cool 1 hour. Run a knife around edge of cheesecake pan and remove sides. Refrigerated at least 4 hours before serving.
Meanwhile, prepare strawberry sauce. Add strawberries and preserves to a blender or food processor and pulse about 10-12 times. Pour into serving dish, cover and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
To serve, slice cheesecake and top with strawberry sauce.
Enjoy!

Happy Birthday to your nice blog; I always love hearing about your life on the ranch and particularly what you cook up.
I was just thinking about making strawberry cheesecake and was starting to hunt for a recipe when – ta-da! – your recipe appeared!
Will have to make asap! Mmmmmhhhh!
This is SUCH a lovely cheesecake! It looks so fluffy and that homemade strawberry sauce just dripping down the sides… mmm! What a lucky son you have. Thanks for sharing!
Mmmm—looks so good. From reading your recipe and looking at the picture, I could almost taste it!
Gorgeous cheesecake. Strawberry cheesecake is a favorite here. Happy blog birthday!
Happy blogiversary, Miss! And happy birthday to your boy! I seriously can’t believe you have kids in their teens. You look barely 20. The cheesecake looks gorgeous. Wish I had a bite!
That strawberry cheese cake looks sooooo yummy, great presentation.
Strawberry cheesecake is one of my favorites, too! It’s the perfect end for any meal as far as I’m concerned.
Congratulations on two years of blogging! Quite an accomplishment.
One of my favorites. Yum.
Happy Blogaversary! Congratulations on two years of blogging!
This strawberry cheesecake looks amazing! I would love to eat this every week too, if not more often! Happy Anniversary to your blog! This cake is a nice way to celebrate. BTW, happy belated birthday to your son. And I was shock when I read your middle son turned 15. I had to read it twice, or even 3 times to make sure I read it correctly. Your son turned 15? You look way too young and gorgeous to have a 15 year old! Guess I need to ask you for your secret for keeping young! I have a lot more to learn from you besides recipes!
oh how I love cheese cake!! I haven’t made one in so long
– - and now … lol, well now I’m craving a slice.
Congratulations on your two year blogiversary <3
Happy 2 year birthday! So glad I found you all those months ago – I’ve enjoyed following you and your delicious posts. If I lived closer I’d gladly come work for a day in exchange for some of your delicious dinners or desserts like this cheesecake
I’m a big big fan of cheesecake and I love the texture of your cheesecake. Looks absolutely divine.
