Strawberry Cheesecake: The Verdict

Well, I finally cut my cheesecake and had a slice. I must admit that the taste was delicious! It had good consistency, and a very good strawberry taste! The topping turned out really good! Great taste and good consistency, just what I was hoping for in a cheesecake topping. The fresh strawberries around the edge added some good additional flavor. Even though only 1 tsp of lemon zest was used, you could taste just that little hint of lemon along with the strawberries, and I felt was a good addition to the recipe. Overall the cake was good. If I could change something I would try a different crust. I think it was a little too wet, so either I should bake it longer initially or I should cut out either the strawberry syrup or butter. I'm not sure how good a crust would be only with strawberries... but it may be worth a try! A butter and graham cracker crust would be a safer choice, if your making this for a special occasion :) Otherwise, be adventurous! And let me know how it works!

Thanks for reading!
