Probably each of us at least once has tasted a cheesecake. There are a lot of variants of this wonderful cake, as well as recipes for its preparation. I had tried few of them and picked up the most common ingredients. Therefore, having at home cream cheese or cottage cheese, you can pamper yourself and cook a cheesecake with strawberry jelly.
