How to Bake in a 13x9-inch Pan

Prepare recipe as directed, substituting a greased foil-lined 13x9-inch pan for the springform pan, and reducing the baking time to 40 to 45 min. or until center of cheesecake is almost set. Use foil handles to remove chilled cheesecake from pan before cutting to serve.

Tip 3

Note

If using a dark nonstick 9-inch springform pan, reduce oven temperature to 300°F.

Directions

Heat oven to 325°F.
Combine cookie crumbs and butter; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 min.
Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add chocolate; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Pour over crust.
Bake 45 to 55 min. or until center is almost set. Run knife around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim.
Refrigerate cheesecake 4 hours. Top with strawberries just before serving.
