Chocolate Chip Cheesecake with Strawberry Compote Topping

It’s always a good time for Chocolate Chip Cheesecake with Strawberry Compote Topping! This dessert is so delicious. The perfect addition to your Easter Dinner or Spring Celebration. 

Y’all… We are STILL on our Strawberry obsession!

I am beyond happy that strawberry is in full force! And my children, of course, are loving strawberry season too. 

We have been going crazy with strawberries adding them to our cereal in the morning, creating build-your-own breakfast parfaits, and topping pancakes with the strawberry compote in this recipe! 

I would love to take the kids strawberry picking. We went apple picking in 2015 and the kids loved every second. I loved having apples for DAAAAAAYYYYYYSSSS…..

Strawberry picking would mean even more strawberry deliciousness in the kitchen. I could totally handle that!

It’s too bad I do not have a green thumb. Or I would grow strawberries in our own yard. I am attempting to develop my inner farmer and will be doing a small garden of veggies and herbs this summer. 

Do you have any tips for me as a newbie gardener in Texas? 

I made this cheesecake originally for a dinner we were hosting and the kids begged to share some of it with their teachers. I love sending treats to the kids teachers during the school year. 

If I can spoil my kids teachers in this simple way, I am totally going to do it!

Don’t forget to wrap the bottom of your springform pan in several layers of tin foil for the water bath. Water baths are key to making great cheesecakes.

I always pour the hot water into the roasting pan after placing the cheesecake in the roasting pan and into the oven. This saves me from splashing water all over when transferring to the oven.
