    Made this for mother's day and it was a huge hit. Should have made a double batch because everyone wanted some to take home. I did bump up the strawberry in the topping by adding 2 T simply fruit jam. This is definitely going to be a regular springtime dessert in our house.

    FYI not all great cheesecakes start with graham crackers. I am a convert…I was out of graham crackers once and used
    Vanilla wafers. The results we so much more tasty, not throwing shade on graham crackers, lots of people love them. There are other options out there…
    Can’t wait to try this, thank you for a beautiful dish…I’ll make it with vanilla wafer crust!

    Cranky old man here saying how much I miss the Marshall and Hood strawberries we U-picked when I was a kid. Tender and sweet, never crunchy or pithy or tart. You can grow them yourself, but you'll never see them in a market, (probably) not even in a farmer's market. One of the delights of local, seasonal produce. Oh, yes, this looks like a nice recipe.

    I watched this video today and decided to make it. Don't underestimate how long this recipe takes. It's certainly not something you whip up after work for dessert that evening.
    20 minutes to bake crust
    30 minutes maybe for crust to cool, maybe longer?
    45 minutes to bake filling
    15 minutes to bake topping
    2 hours to cool
    4 hours minimum in refrigerator
    -------------------------------------------------
    8 hours total plus any prep time that doesn't occur during one of the other processes.
    How does it taste? I guess I'll find out tomorrow...

    I just made these for a crowd and they were AMAZING! My guests said that these were not only the best cheesecake bars they have every had, but the best DESSERT they have ever had. The graham cracker crust is perfectly crunchy and slightly salty to balance the sweetness. The cheesecake and strawberry topping are so rich and smooth not but overly sweet. And bonus that the presentation looks beautiful! I was doubtful that these would have much strawberry flavor since it only used about 6 strawberries, but it was perfect! Also, these were super easy to make, especially since you can make them ahead of time. Just make sure you have space in your fridge for a 9x13 pan. I will definitely be making these again.

    I grow a lot of strawberries and can hardly wait to use them in this recipe! I like how the slices on top look like hearts, too. I might try this same thing with blueberries and raspberries too.

    • @joycemiller7908
      @joycemiller7908 Před 2 lety +3

      @@lilynoir3939 That did happen to me when I first started. Huge bushy leaves/not much fruit. My problem was that area just didn't get enough sun. But other problems could be imbalance of nutrients, like too much nitrogen? Try popping some into different spots around your yard, maybe, to see if there's a difference. I wonder if trimming away some of the greenery would help them grow more fruit and also make it less shady for the fruits. Experiment, and watch lots of videos about strawberries. You'll get it right...just keep trying. Maybe, too, there's a better variety for your zone. One that matures faster..or maybe everbearing instead of june bearing so you get a longer season? Maybe they're too close to each other? So many possibilities!

    Aluminum is mined from the Amazon rainforest and should not be wasted for a dessert....instead, use parchment paper. Better for the environment and more affordable. True, you can wash and reuse aluminum foil...but don't kid yourself into thinking most Americans would bother. Aluminum is recyclable...unless if it's contaminated with food waste (in which case, go back to the observation that most Americans won't bother to take the time to wash a thin sheet of metal).
