Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 3/4 cup hot fudge sauce
  • 4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/3 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup strawberry preserves, melted

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 325°F. Mix cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar and the butter. Press evenly in bottom and 2 inches up side of springform pan, 9x3 inches. Bake 5 minutes.
  • 2
    Microwave hot fudge sauce as directed on jar until hot. Pour hot fudge sauce over crust; spread evenly.
  • 3
    In large bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually beat in 1 1/3 cups sugar and the vanilla until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Pour over hot fudge sauce.
  • 4
    Bake cheesecake 55 to 65 minutes or until set; cool 15 minutes. Run metal spatula along side of cheesecake to loosen. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours. Spread melted strawberry preserves over cheesecake. Cover and refrigerate any remaining cheesecake.

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened before beating. This makes it easier to blend with the other ingredients.
  • We like the brilliant red color of the "lite" strawberry preserves, but you can also use regular strawberry or raspberry preserves.
  • Here's a new way to jazz up cheesecake that's so easy. Top with strawberry slices and Betty Crocker® Dessert Decorations chocolate leaves.
