Cherry Blossom Dream Cake

Bake the Cheesecake:

Wrap the bottom of the pan in foil and place it in a larger pan. Pour hot water into the larger pan to create a water bath.
Bake the cheesecake for 55-70 minutes. The center should be slightly wobbly.
Turn off the oven, leave the door closed, and let the cheesecake sit for 1 hour.
Remove from the oven and water bath, then run a knife around the edges. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Decoration:

Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Add a drop of pink food coloring if desired.
Pipe dollops of whipped cream around the edges of the cheesecake.
Drizzle the remaining strawberry puree over the cheesecake.
Arrange fresh strawberries on top for a beautiful finish.

Serving:

Once fully chilled and set, release the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice with a warm knife, and serve.
Enjoy your homemade Strawberry Bliss Cheesecake, perfect for any sweet celebration or indulgent treat!
