CHEESECAKE com MASCARPONE e MORANGO "ASSADO"

This was my Birthday Cake:  Strawberries-and-Cream Cheesecake (recipe here). I love chessecake, I love strawberries and I love mascarpone, so this cake just couldn´t go wrong...I absolutely loved the fact that the strawberries are baked before being mashed with the cream cheese and mascarpone. Another wonderful thing about this recipe is the vanilla seeds incorporated into the cream!!! 

Meu "bolinho" de aniversário: um Cheesecake com mascarpone (que simplesmente amo) e morangos (receita aqui)! Adorei essa receita porque os morangos são assados com mel antes de fazer o purê da fruta e incorporá-lo aos queijos. Outra coisa maravilhosa são as sementinhas de baunilha!!!!  

wonderful colored baked strawberries
os maravilhosamente vermelhos morangos assados 

mixing the mashed strawberries in the cream cheese and mascarpone - and loads of vanilla seeds- mixture.

misturando o purê de morango com os queijos. E muita baunilha :)))

first, the strawberry and cream mixture over the crust...
primeiro, uma camada de queijo com morangos... 

...and then the "plain" cheese layer- believe me, there´s NOTHING plain about this layer of cream cheese, mascarpone and vanilla :)))) 

... e depois uma camada de cream cheese com mascarpone.

the baked cake that is simply delicious and has absolutely gorgeous pastel colors freckled with vanilla seeds. What´s not to like??? 
O bolo, que além de delicioso, é absolutamente lindo: cores pastéis com os pontinhos pretos das sementinhas de baunilha!
