Laura's Classic Cheesecake

Nothing says spring quite like vibrant, fresh fruit, and we couldn't think of a better way to welcome the new season than to add a little strawberry touch to our rich and creamy Laura's Classic Cheesecake! Check out this simple recipe for how you can add this homemade addition and take your Laura's Classic Cheesecake to the next level!

Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, add strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir to combine. If your strawberries are not very juicy, add 1-2 tablespoons of water, or more, as needed.
2. Bring your mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture has thickened and looks glossy (this could take up to 6-8 minutes). Remove from heat to cool, and store topping in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
3. Spoon your strawberry sauce on top of your Laura’s Classic Cheesecake and add fresh strawberry slices to garnish. Enjoy.
