I decided to use the same crust I made for the Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake, the Golden Oreo Cookie Crust. I feel it went well with the cheesecake without really adding an additional flavor profile, just some sweetness.

Once the Strawberry Curd is made, this cheesecake comes together rather quickly, and needs to chill for at least 4 hours before serving. I will say that I didn’t get any good “slice of cheesecake” pictures because the curd was oozing. Next time I’ll make ribbons of curd instead of larger plops of curd and then swirl them together.

I brought some Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake slices with me to our Tuesday night trivia outing. That night our team consisted of RB, Verlin, Bobby, and myself. Everyone loved the cheesecake! Bobby said, “This is the best cheesecake I have ever eaten.” After trivia, I dropped cheesecake slices off at Jordan and Savannah’s house and I served some to Ron at home. Everyone gave rave reviews about how creamy it was and how they enjoyed the strawberry curd!
