Step 3: Make the strawberry topping
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook for about 5–8 minutes, until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
- If you want a thicker topping, stir in 1 tsp of cornstarch dissolved in 1 tbsp water, and simmer until thickened.
- Let the mixture cool completely before spooning over the cheesecake.
Step 4: Assemble and serve
- Once the cheesecake has set, spoon the cooled strawberry topping evenly over the top.
- Slice and serve chilled — and watch the compliments roll in! 😍
🍓 Tips & Variations
- No fresh strawberries? Use frozen ones — just thaw and drain first.
- Want to switch up the fruit? Blueberries, raspberries, or mango make delicious toppings too!
- For a lighter option, substitute Greek yogurt for part of the cream cheese.
- Use individual jars or cups for adorable, portable servings.
