Ingredients

CRUST

  • 1½ cups (225g) finely ground graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup (65g) white sugar
  • 6 tablespoons (90g) butter, melted

CHEESECAKE

  • 1 package (250g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract

HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY FILLING

  • 2 cups (300g) frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 10 teaspoons (50ml) cornstarch
  • 6 tablespoons (90ml) water
  • 2 teaspoons (10ml) lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons (10ml) Amaretto

Method

In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients for the strawberry filling except for the Amaretto.

Boil for a minute or two until the sauce thickens. Stir in Amaretto.

To prepare the crust, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and white sugar together. Press into the bottom of small mason jars. Let them set in the fridge for an hour.

Beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk, then stir in lemon juice and vanilla. Pour over the prepared pie crust and let chill for 3 hours.

If you wish, you can add a second layer of crust over the cheesecake, then chill again for one more hour.

Top with strawberry filling before serving.
