      I was going to serve angel food cake with plain sliced strawberries for our Easter dessert, and then I saw this recipe. So glad I tried it, really made our dessert something special!

        Hi Chrystal I would say sauce should keep Ok in the fridge for a week, although mine has never lasted that long. It also freezes very well.

      I am looking at the Cheesecake recipe and have a question, in step 11 it says remove from water bath and remove foil, but never says when or where to put foil, first time baking Cheesecake so don’t want to mess up. Is the foil covering while baking?

        The foil is wrapped around the outside of the springform pan. Do this prior to pouring batter in the pan.

        Dolores, are you wanting to make a crust for the strawberry sauce? That won't work as the strawberry sauce is too liquid for a crust.

      Regarding the Tall cheese cake Can I use a 9 inch pan but not use all the batter? Also would the baking time change?

        Eileen, that would work or you could try building up the sides of the pan with parchment paper. The baking time should not change too much. This video gives you a great idea of how to check doneness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkwbSGEczHQ

      Delicious! First batch, half went on French Toast for breakfast, rest waiting for ice cream dessert tonight. Tip - I used a full supermarket 1lb package and added 50% to the rest of the ingredients - worked like a charm. Love that lemon tang!

      Do you add the sauce hot on top of cheesecake or let it cool to room temperature first?
