Ingredients:

Serving

2/3 cup crushed vanilla wafers (about 20 wafers)
1/3 cup slivered almonds
3 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp butter, melted
2 packages (1 8 oz, one 3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
3 tbsp heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 to 1-1/4 tsp grated lemon peel
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs, lightly beaten
topping:
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1 tbsp sugar

Directions:

In a blender or food processor, combine the wafer crumbs, almonds and sugar. Add butter; cover and process until blended. Press on the bottom and 1-1/2-in up the sides of a greased 6-in. springform pan. Bake at 350° for 7-9 minutes, until crust is set and just starting to brown. Cool on a wire rack.
In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in sugar. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the cream, lemon juice, peel and vanilla. Add eggs; beat just until blended. Pour into crust.
Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. (Cheesecake may dip in center.) Refrigerate overnight. Remove sides of pan.
For sauce, in a bowl, combine strawberries and sugar. Let stand for 15-30 minutes. Serve over cheesecake. Yield: 4-6 servings.
