- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and let the mixture sit for 15-20 minutes, allowing the strawberries to release their natural juices and create a syrup.
Step 5: Assemble and Serve
- Once the cheesecake has chilled and set, spread the strawberry topping evenly over the cheesecake. Be sure to include the syrup as well for extra sweetness.
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving platter.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy your Homemade Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake!
Tips
- If you prefer a thicker crust, you can double the shortcake crust ingredients and press it higher along the sides of the springform pan.
- For a variation, you can add a layer of whipped cream on top of the cheesecake before serving for added creaminess.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. This cheesecake can also be frozen for up to 2 months—just wrap it tightly before freezing.
