Strawberry Glazed Cheesecake

"Who doesn't love a good, rich dessert? This strawberry cheesecake has knocked the socks off of everyone I've made it for. It's relatively simple but it can be time consuming. . . get a premade pie crust if you're looking to shorten the process a little. Other than that, all I can say is enjoy! I think you'll be extremely happy with the results. Ratings and critiques appreciated :)"

  1. Made for Fall 2011 PAC.<br/><br/>This is a fluffy, rich, yummy, beautiful, strawberry covered delight. It's not really heavy like some cheesecakes I've made, but it still has that "oh jeez, this is definitely not good for me but I'm still going to eat it" factor. Blueberries are my berry, will be trying this subbing them for the strawberries. Thanks for sharing! *1 1/4 lbs cream cheese = 3 x 250g bricks
