Summer Cheesecake Squares
June 28th, 2009 | Published in Baking | 2 Comments
We went to a get together last night with Dave’s fellow architecture students. It was great to spend the evening outside, around a fire, and starting to make new friends! Along with our skewers for the grill, we brought along these summer cheesecake squares. The recipe comes from Martha Stewart, and can be found here.
Martha decorated hers to look like an American Flag, but for this party I thought that might be a bit over the top. So I just topped my squares with some deliciously sweet and juicy strawberries. This recipe is perfect for summer parties. The lemon zest and almond extract give the cheesecake the most delicious flavor, and it tastes so fresh with fruit on top.
Happy summer!

Hi Annie!
I work with Dave’s Aunt Jeri and she told me about your blog since I love to make all sorts of crafty things too. I’ve really enjoyed reading it – I remember when I was first married, 30 years ago, and living in an apartment in DC away from family and old friends. I made a cat scratching post too! It’s fun making an apartment into your own home, isn’t it?
Thanks for letting me glimpse into your life; you’ve inspired me to get going on some things other than knitting. I have a blog that’s in the embryonic stage and that I’ve ignored for a bit. You can visit it if you like but it’s a wee rough – http://www.woolforward.blogspot.com.
Glad to see you have the Purl Bee on your blog roll. That’s a great site isn’t it. I’m planning on making the crocheted basket real soon – got the yarn sitting in the living room but it’s not calling to me yet.
Take Care,
Marie

Yum – looks delicious! I can’t wait for the strawberries to be in season here. Cheesecake always reminds me of summer.
