Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups crushed Vanilla wafers
• 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
• 3 containers (8oz each) of Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup strawberry puree
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Vanilla wafers and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to create the crust.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
5. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
6. In a saucepan, combine the strawberry puree, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly.
7. Remove the strawberry filling from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
8. Pour the strawberry filling over the cream cheese mixture and use a knife to gently swirl it into the batter.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
10. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
11. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set completely.
12. Prior to serving, drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the top of the cheesecake.
13. Slice and enjoy!
