Passover Cheesecake With Strawberry Sauce
- 2 cups soft coconut macaroon cookie crumbs
- 3 tablespoons margarine, melted
- 4 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 cup plus 1 tsp. sugar, divided
- 2 tablespoons grated orange zest
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled, quartered
- 2 teaspoons orange juice
- oven to 325u0b0 F if using a silver 9-inch springform pan (or to 300u0b0 F if using a dark nonstick 9-inch springform pan). Mix cookie crumbs and margarine. Press firmly onto bottom and 1 inch up side of lightly greased springform pan. Bake 12 min.
- beat cream cheese and 1 cup of the sugar with electric mixer until well blended. Add zest; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour into crust.
- 55 min. or until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim. Refrigerate at least 4 hours. (Or, wrap cheesecake securely in plastic wrap followed by foil. Freeze up to 2 months. Thaw wrapped cheesecake in refrigerator overnight.)
- strawberries in blender or food processor; cover. Blend until smooth; strain. Stir in juice and remaining 1 tsp. sugar. Serve spooned over cheesecake slices. Store leftovers in refrigerator.
