recipe Dinner Recipe: Easy Seafood Salad

This super simple, healthy summer recipe was inspired by a seafood salad I had in the Bahamas that featured conch. I substituted crab and shrimp for the conch and like it even more!

  • 1 medium orange
  • 1 medium lemon
  • 1 medium lime

recipe Dessert Recipe: Chocolate-Topped Strawberry Cheesecake
Servings: 12
Taste of Home ~ Step by Step Detailed Instructions

Creamy and airy, this gorgeous dessert is the perfect special something for a summer dinner party. I love the mix of smooth strawberry cheesecake and crumbly chocolate crust—and how elegant it looks on the table.
Recipe by: Kathy Berger ~ Dry Ridge, Kentucky


    Ingredients:
    Crust:
  • 3/4 cup ground pecans
  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

  • Filling:
  • 4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1-1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten

  • Topping:
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Strawberry glaze:
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 jar (12 ounces) strawberry jelly
  • 3 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur or lemon juice
  • Red food coloring, optional
  • 1 quart whole fresh strawberries, halved

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°. Combine pecans, crumbs and butter. Press onto the bottom of a 10-in. springform pan.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in lemon juice and vanilla. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until blended. Spoon over crust.
  • Bake until filling is almost set, 45-50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack 15 minutes. Meanwhile, for topping, combine sour cream, sugar and vanilla. Spread over cheesecake and return to oven for 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack 1 hour. Refrigerate overnight, covering when completely cooled.
  • Several hours before serving, prepare glaze. In a saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Add jelly and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until jelly is melted and mixture has thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in liqueur and, if desired, food coloring. Cool to room temperature.
  • Just before serving, loosen and remove sides of springform pan. Arrange halved strawberries on top. Spoon glaze over berries, allowing some to drip down sides of cake. Serve immediately.
