Strawberry Cheesecake

that for 12 minutes until the edges are golden brown Next whip up the cheesecake filling. Start by beating the cream cheese by itself in the mixing bowl. This will ensure that you wont have lumps in your cheesecake. Next beat in the sugar. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl to make sure the cream cheese is thoroughly incorporated.

Strawberry Topping for Cheesecake
Okay this strawberry topping isnt JUST for cheesecake it would be great on some strawberry shortcake vanilla pound cake and maybe even some yogurt!
To make the strawberry topping for the cheesecake
Slice 1 pound or roughly 2 12 cups of strawberries. I have this handy dandy strawberry slicer that makes them look like perfect slices but a good pairing knife can do the same job.
Set some of the strawberries aside to add back into the strawberry sauce after its been cooked. Add the remaining strawberry slices into a saucepan with some granulated sugar. Heat over medium and boil 2 to 3 minutes until juices form and the sugar is melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the rest of the fresh strawberry slices.
Add the strawberry topping into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place into the fridge and let it chill for several hours.
