Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake
Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake
The ultimate all-time hands down incredible cheesecake. No joke! Stop everything you’re doing and make.this.now.
As usual, I had a business meeting re this blog — with my mum. And the subject came up about her famous orange spiked cheesecake with a delicious strawberry swirl.
Speaking about that Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake from a few months back…I knew in my heart and soul that you will all appreciate a sweet vanilla strawberry nectar swirled inside and paired with her cheesecake. They go hand in hand like Romeo and Juliet.
Ready and done before it even gets to the oven in less than 5 minutes. Then the oven does all the hard work in about 50 minutes. And then the waiting around while chasing after the kids, washing dishes, feeding the bird (yes, we have a bird), and eating left over strawberries goes by sooooooo slowwwwww but soooooo worth it, even I, the most impatient person in the world, can wait for this cheesecake.
As you can probably tell by all those fresh from the farm strawberries, this piece of heaven sent us to see angels and hear them sing a symphony of sweet song, we didn’t wanna come crashing back down to earth. But we did — when we ran out of our slice and had to get more.
Enjoy this with your friends, your family, or just yourself hiding in the bathroom where no one can see you and take it off you until you finish the whole thing by yourself.
