Strawberry Streusel Cheesecake image

Yummy and easy, strawberry cheesecake! The creamy texture of the cheesecake and the delicious streusel topping makes this a great recipe! It's very easy to prepare, it's just hard to wait on it to cool to take a bite! ** Recipe was from paper from Martha White. I couldn't find plain strawberry muffin mix, so I used strawberry cheesecake muffin mix and it was yummy!

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 cheesecake, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

nonstick cooking spray
2 (7 ounce) packages martha white strawberry muffin mix (can use Strawberry Cheesecake Muffin mix too)
6 tablespoons butter, cold
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (21 ounce) can strawberry pie filling
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F; spray bottom and sides of 10 to 11 inch springform pan with no stick cooking spray.
  • Combine muffin mix and butter in medium bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture is crumbly. Reserve 1-1/3 cup of crumb mixture. Place in refrigerator.
  • Press remaining crumbs in bottom and partially up sides of prepared pan. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Combine cream cheese, sugar, flour, egg and vanilla in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer on medium high for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until creamy and smooth.
  • Spoon cream cheese mixture evenly over partially baked crust. Spread gently.
  • Spoon pie filling evenly over cream cheese mixture.
  • Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture and walnuts on top of pie filling.
  • Bake 40 to 45 minutes longer, or until golden brown on cookie sheet.
  • Cool about 30 minutes.

  • Remove sides of pan and place on serving plate to serve! YUMMY!
