We are going to spend this Easter weekend at my in laws' place.. like usual we'll have Easter Eve dinner and Easter day dinner.. usually my MIL cooked ham and we enjoyed it together.. I told them I'm going to bring a pie or cake.. though I still had no idea what kind of pie or cake I'd bring..
On our morning walk I talked about it with Vickie.. she suggested apple pies and strawberry cheesecake.. our mouths were watering when we talked about it.. haha... and on the ads for our local market, strawberry was on sale, 99 cents/lbs.. so I decided to make strawberry cheesecake, I browsed around the net, mostly recipes on the internet were cheesecake topped with strawberry, I wanted to make something different, and I found this one, I decided to try it.. so we went to the store to buy strawberry, but it ran out so fast.. the employee said nada.. no more till tomorrow, then we went to another store, and I saw canned strawberry for $1, I grabbed it and it was a good choice though, much easier..
This recipe has been modified by me.. I don't want a big cake because we don't want too much leftover, we try to eat less fat and sweet :)
- 1 small pie crust (Graham Crackers)
- 1 package of cream cheese (8oz)
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 12 oz of strawberry puree ( I use canned strawberry, drain out the juice)
- 1 tbsp of flour
- 1 tbsp of lemon juice
- vanilla ( I used fresh vanilla beans)
- beat cream cheese and sugar until well blended, add flour, continue beating
- add in 1 egg, beat well, add another one, beat well until fluffy
- add strawberry puree, lemon juice and vanilla
- beat until all well blended
- pour the mixture into the crust
- bake in a water bath for 35 to 30 minutes on a preheated oven 350'f ( as you can see, mine is a bit over baked)
