So I made a Cheesecake with Homemade Graham Cracker Crust and Strawberry Sauce for my husband's birthday. It was to die for. He told me it was the best thing on earth - so for that high of standards I have to post it.
Graham Cracker Crust
1 1/2 cups Graham Cracker, blended finely in a food processor
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
Blend all together and pat into a pie pan/dish. Bake for 8 minutes at 350 degrees and let cool for 1 hour. While it is cooling, make the Cheesecake filling.
Cheesecake
1/3 low fat cream cheese - 4 - 8oz blocks
1/4 cup corn starch
1 2/3 cups sugar
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 eggs
Blend 1 block of the cream cheese, 1/3 cup of sugar and the cornstarch. Beat with a mixer until smooth. Add the rest of the cream cheese blocks and mix until smooth. Add the vanilla and the rest of the vanilla until it is mixed. Add each egg separately, mixing well in between adding each egg. Beat in the heavy cream. Beat until mixed but do not over mix. Add the cheesecake mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust. Bake for exactly 1 hour at 350 degrees.
Strawberry Sauce
1 pkg frozen strawberries, thawed
2 tablespoons sugar
While the cheesecake is baking take a thawed package of strawberries and add to the stove in a small pan at medium high heat. Add the sugar. Stir until bubbling and take off the heat and put in the refrigerator to cool.
