- Electric mixer
- Oven
- Mixing bowls
- Refrigerator
Ingredients
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs for stability and calm
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted for nurturing and healing
- ¼ cup sugar to sweeten life
- 2 lbs cream cheese at room temperature for nurturing and comfort
- 1 cup sugar to sweeten life
- 1 tsp vanilla extract for love and mental powers
- 4 large eggs for protection and spiritual growth
- 1 cup sour cream for protection and purification
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour for stability and grounding
- 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and halved for love and happiness
- ½ cup strawberry jam for love and happiness
Garnish
- 4 fresh mint leaves for prosperity and protection
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar together in a bowl. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. As you press the crust into the pan, recite: "Stability and calm, in life's steady psalm, ground us firm, keep us from harm."
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. As you mix it together say: "Sweetness and love, like the cooing of the dove, fill our hearts, sent from above."
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate each one. As you do, say, "One by one, 'neath the sun, shield us from harm, spiritual growth begun."
- Mix in the sour cream and flour until smooth. As you do, say, "Purity's call, protection for all, grounded we stand, in this endeavor, tall."
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven. The cheesecake is done when the center is set and the top looks dry.
- Let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for about an hour. Then, remove from the oven, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Before serving, arrange the strawberry halves on top of the cheesecake and heat the strawberry jam until it's runny. Brush or drizzle the jam over the strawberries, and garnish with fresh mint leaves. As you arrange the strawberries and mint, say, "Berries of red, prosperity lies ahead, mint so bright, brings love and delight, happiness in our lives, widely spread."
Notes
It's crucial to let the cheesecake cool slowly to prevent the top from cracking.
It's best to make this cheesecake a day in advance to give it plenty of time to set in the fridge.
Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. Less sugar will yield a more tart cheesecake, while more sugar will make it sweeter.
