New York-style cheesecake is a favorite dessert for my husband, Michael. In fact, almost 20 years ago, the first time I met my future mother-in-law, she told me that the way to Michael\u2019s heart was through his stomach and that she bribed him with a slice of cheesecake anytime she wanted him to do something when she was a child. She may be a traditional lady, but I got the message clear and loud: learn to make a good cheesecake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I beat cream cheese until smooth and moist to make the filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I beat in the sugar steadily until light and fluffy. Then I whisked in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, cornstarch, and salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After that, I beat in eggs, one by one and I used my mixer at low speed and blended the ingredients slowly until smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I added in the sour cream at last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a roasting pan, I placed the springform pan, then I poured the batter into the springform pan and smooth the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I put boiling water in the roasting pan halfway up the side of the springform pan (make sure no water drips on the batter).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I placed them in the oven and bake at 325 F for 60 to 50 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I let it sit in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour, then I allowed it to cool to room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I covered the top when cooled and put it in the refrigerator to chill throughout the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I mixed half of the strawberries with the sugar and lemon juice together in a saucepan. Stirring constantly, I cooked the mixture for 7 to 10 minutes over medium heat, or until the sauce thickens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I removed from the heat and added in the vanilla with the remaining strawberries when thickened, and cool to room temperature, then I spread over the cake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ENJOY IT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
