How to Make Jelled Strawberry Topping For Cheesecake
- Gently rinse 1 pint of fresh strawberries under cool water. Pat completely dry using paper towels, both on top and underneath.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of water until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes clear (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 (3 ounce) package of strawberry gelatin powder until completely dissolved.
- Set the mixture aside to cool to almost room temperature (approximately 20-30 minutes).
- Meanwhile, hull 1 pint of fresh strawberries and arrange them cut-side down on top of your cheesecake, starting from the center and spiraling outwards to the edges. Ensure the strawberries are neatly placed and cover the entire surface.
- Once the gelatin mixture has cooled, carefully pour it over the arranged strawberries, ensuring that all strawberries and the cheesecake are evenly coated.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the topping to fully set.
- Before serving, run a thin knife around the edge of the cheesecake between the cake and the springform pan to loosen it.
- Carefully unlock and remove the springform pan.
