How to Make Lindy's Cheesecake With Strawberry Glaze
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until well combined. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and sour cream.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
- Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Prepare the strawberry glaze: In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the strawberries are softened and the glaze has thickened.
- Strain the glaze through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
- Let the glaze cool slightly.
- Once the cheesecake is chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
- Pour the strawberry glaze over the top of the cheesecake.
- Serve and enjoy!
