Strawberry Cheesecake With Graham Cracker Crust

Name: Strawberry Cheesecake With Graham Cracker Crust
Ingredients: 1-3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs; 1-1/2 tablespoons brown sugar; 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon; scant 1/4 teaspoon salt; 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted; 3 packages (8 ounces each) regular (not low-fat or whipped) cream cheese, softened; 1-1/4 cups sugar; 3 large eggs plus 1 yolk, at room temperature; 1/3 cup heavy cream; 1/3 cup regular (not low-fat) sour cream; 2-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract or grated lemon zest; 1/2 cup strawberry preserves; 1 pint ripe, fresh strawberries, rinsed, halved and patted dry

"Try this for the creamy-smooth consistency of many classic cheesecakes. The strawberries add a splash of color. If you prefer, simply slice them or another fruit, such as peaches, or use a different berry, and spoon over individual servings...."
