instructions
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let sit for a few minutes while you prepare the jam. In a small sauce pot-melt the strawberry jam over low heat. When it is melted, strain in to another bowl if you prefer no seeds. Pour the melted jam over the top of the cheesecake and smooth out in to an even layer. Let the cheesecake sit out to cool for another 30 minutes to an hour, then slice in to 24 squares while still warm. Refrigerate for a few hours to chill completely.
Helpful Tips:
1. If you don’t have a food processor to crush the pretzel and graham crackers for the crust, put them in a plastic bag and smash them until they’re pulverized.
2. Not using a cheesecake pan allows the crust to stay thick to play on the salty and sweet flavor.
3. If taking this cheesecake to go, then the best way to wrap it is to first wrap the baking dish with plastic wrap, then put a piece of cardboard wider than the dish on top, and then wrap in tin foil.
