3 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1/3 cup white sugar
3 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 1/2 cups margarine
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 (12 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
5 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line pans with waxed paper.
In a large bowl, beat together sugar, cream cheese, butter, and lemon juice. Beat until mixture comes together. Pour mixture into pastry shell.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into center of cheesecake comes out clean.
Once cool, twist peel and slice cheesecake to release strawberries. Serve cheesecake with sliced strawberries and lemon cheesecake sauce or as garnish.
