Description
Oh my goodness, this is not only a gorgeous cheesecake, but an amazingly delicious one as well. It's the perfect dessert to serve guests for special dinner or for holiday dinners.
Ingredients
- Crust:
- 1 box Pillsbury Strawberry cake mix
- 1/2 c. unsalted butter, softened
- 1 T. lemon juice
- Cheesecake:
- 16 oz. cream cheese, room temperature, softened
- 3/4 c. granulated sugar
- 1/2 c. sour cream
- 2 t. vanilla
- 1/3 c. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- zest of 2 lemons, divided
- 2 eggs
- Topping:
- 1/2 c. Pillsbury strawberry frosting
- Garnish:
- lemon slices from 1 lemon, if desired
Steps
- Crust:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. *To help prevent the cheesecake from cracking, when preheating the oven, place a large pan, (like a roasting pan) filled halfway with water on the shelf below the cheesecake. The steam will keep the crust from cracking.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together cake mix, butter and lemon juice until well combined. Press into a greased 9 inch springform pan; set aside.
