Time 4h35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 11-ounce box vanilla wafer cookies
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus more for garnish
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup heavy cream
Three 8-ounce blocks full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cups sour cream, at room temperature
1 quart strawberries, sliced

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.

Time 7h6m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

cooking spray
1 (18.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix
⅓ cup prepared lemonade
⅓ cup butter, melted
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup white sugar
1 egg
¼ cup strawberry preserves
½ cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
¼ cup sprinkles, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Beat together cake mix, lemonade, and butter until a soft dough forms. Press half the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Beat together cream cheese and sugar in a bowl until creamy. Add egg and beat again. Spread cheesecake over the dough in the pan.
  • Place strawberry preserves in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. Drop by small spoonfuls all over the top of the cheesecake layer. Drag a knife very carefully through the cheesecake to swirl in the strawberry preserves.
  • Take a small piece of the remaining dough and press it flat in the palm of your hand. Rip the dough into pieces and scatter over the cheesecake, covering as much of the surface as you can.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 2 hours. Refrigerate until completely chilled, about 4 hours to overnight.
  • Stir the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together in a bowl. Drizzle mixture over the chilled cheesecake and top with sprinkles. Let icing set, about 15 minutes. Cut into 24 bars.

Tips:

  • For a smoother cheesecake, use a food processor to blend the cream cheese until completely smooth.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a hand mixer on low speed to blend the cream cheese until smooth.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before using. This will help it blend more easily and prevent lumps.
  • Use fresh lemons and strawberries for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice concentrate plus 1 tablespoon of water.
  • If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help it set properly.
