Desserts - Cheesecakes
STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE
from newsman Charles Kuralt

FOR THE CRUST:
2 cups zwieback (or graham cracker) crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
FOR THE FILLING:
4 eggs, separated
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp flour
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup sour cream (plus additional, for serving)
1 quart fresh strawberries (for serving)

Mix together zwieback (or graham cracker) crumbs with melted butter, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Reserve 1/2 cup crumb mixture. Press remaining amount into bottom and sides of a deep pie plate, 9 or 10 inch (or spring form pan); chill slightly.

Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry, gradually add remaining sugar, set aside.

Beat egg yolks until lemon colored, add vanilla extract.

In separate bowl beat cream cheese until fluffy; add flour, salt and sour cream blending until creamy and smooth.

Stir in egg yolks mixing well; fold in beaten egg whites. Pour on top of crumb crust. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs.

Bake in preheated 375 degree F oven 1 1/4 hours or until center is set. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.

Top with whole, ripe, cleaned, hulled strawberries (may be lightly sweetened.) Serve with dollops of chilled sour cream.

Makes 8-12 servings
