How To Make Homemade Strawberry Pie Filling?
Don’t miss this fresh strawberry season to try this recipe.
Wash and hull the strawberries, and chop them in about 1/3- ½ inch pieces. In a heavy saucepan combine half of the diced strawberries and lemon juice. Cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes until the strawberries are bursting and juice has started to form.
In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and cornstarch. Then stir it into the strawberry mixture. Add remaining strawberries and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Once the mixture has thickened and resembles pie filling, remove from heat and set aside to cool completely
If you don’t have enough time for this step just use the shortcut and buy canned strawberry pie filling for this cheesecake recipe. However, I prefer homemade pie filling, especially when fresh, juicy strawberries are in the season.
How To Make Mini Cheesecakes?
You won’t need any special equipment, like mini cheesecake pans or water-bath. Just use standard muffin tin and paper liners.
The crust is just a simple mixture of graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of each paper cup and set aside while making the cheesecake filling.
