Cheesecake is one of my daughter’s favorite. She would always order it at the restaurant for dessert.
I love the mixture soft of egg, cream cheese, sugar. It’s very delightful dessert.
I love to bake these as cupcake size rather than the whole cake. It’s less messy, and everyone can just wrap one.
Strawberry is a good fruit to top of on cheesecake and not mentioned lemon crust. It balances out the sweetness of your cream cheese filling.
Notes:
If the top is cracked, that means you over-baked the cheesecake. Cook your cheesecake until the outer ring of the cake is slightly puffed and fairly firm, but the inner circle still jiggles like barely set Jello.
Let’s get started.
