If you want to make your own New York Style Cheesecake, I recommend this recipe. It’s fairly easy and has been fail proof for me. I love that it’s light and airy while not having that super rich flavor of some cheesecake recipes.
However, if you’re in a hurry starting this recipe with a frozen, store bought cheesecake is a great short cut. Either way, cut the cake into serving slices prior to decorating the top with the fresh fruit.
This makes serving easy at the table. Use a long, sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts to limit ragged edges on your slices.
Slice the strawberries into quarter sections to get the look in these pictures. If you slice the berries in half, you’ll have little hearts lining the edge of your cheesecake.
If you have extra fruit left over, serve alongside the cheesecake for those who want an extra dose of raspberries.
