Creamy Strawberry Cheesecake

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar and lemon juice. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbly, 2 minutes. Mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir into pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; cool.
• Mix cracker crumbs and sugar; stir in butter. Press onto bottom and up sides of a 9-in. pie plate. Bake 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
• Beat cream cheese, sugar, sour cream and vanilla on medium speed until creamy. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour into prepared crust. Spoon cooled berry mixture over top; swirl into filling.
• Bake until center is almost set, 30-35 minutes. Cool 1 hour on a wire rack. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
