STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE

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.
• Beat cream cheese in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; gradually beat in condensed milk. 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.

STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE WITH PRETZEL CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• For the crust: Combine the pretzels, graham crackers, sugar, a pinch of salt and the melted butter in a large bowl. Press the crust into the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch clear glass baking dish. Set aside while you make the filling.
• For the filling: In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the softened cream cheese on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl and the beater often, until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sour cream and sugar and continue to mix until combined, 1 to 2 minutes. With the mixer speed on low, add the eggs one at a time, thoroughly mixing after each addition. Mix in the vanilla. Pour the filling over the crust and bake until the center is no longer jiggly, about 1 hour. Let the cheesecake sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, melt the strawberry preserves in a small saucepot over low heat. If you prefer no seeds, use a fine mesh sieve to strain it into another bowl. Pour the melted preserves over top of the cheesecake and smooth it out into an even layer. Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for another 30 minutes to 1 hour, then slice into 24 squares while still warm. Refrigerate until chilled completely, at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
