WOW is this good! I found this recipe in an old cheesecake cookbook called "Cheesecake Madness" that I had purchased at a church rummage sale. I don't know why someone didn't want a book with a recipe this delicious in it. It is nice and thick, melts in your mouth, and forget about dieting...this cheesecake is chock full of diet-wrecking temptations!

Time 2h10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 lbs cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup heavy cream
6 eggs
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon brandy extract
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
1 quart strawberry, sliced
1 cup amaretto liqueur
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • You will also need: 9-inch springform pan.
  • To prepare crust place graham crackers, sugar and butter in a small mixing bowl. Blend well with fingers or a pastry blender. Press into the bottom of a well-buttered 9" springform pan. Chill in the freezer or refrigerator for about 30 minutes while you prepare the batter and strawberries.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and heavy cream until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, making sure that the mixture is smooth after beating in each egg.
  • Add the lemon juice, brandy extract, sour cream, vanilla, and flour and continue beating until very smooth and creamy.
  • Fold in the chopped strawberries. Pour the mixture into the chilled springform pan that you have placed on a cookie sheet (the batter will come to the top of the pan so do not be alarmed).
  • Bake in a preheated 425° oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 275° and continue to bake for 1 hour.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool for 3 hours. While the cake is cooling, marinate the sliced strawberries in the Amaretto and sugar for about 3 to 4 hours.
  • Arranges the slices decoratively on top of the cooled cheesecake and bake in a 350° oven for 7 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely for 2 hours. Remove the sides of the springform pan and refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove the cake from the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

I'm not sure about the amaretto in this recipe. I might try it without it.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

Delicious! I added a little extra amaretto to the filling and it was perfect. The crust was nice and crispy, too.
