Instructions

For the blondie:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9 (23 x23 cm) pan with parchment paper.
Combine melted butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add eggs, egg yolk, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet until completely combined.
Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 15-20 minutes, until edges just begin to turn golden brow.

For the cheesecake:

Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, egg, sugar, whipping cream, and zest until smooth.
Pour the filling over the blondie and bake for 15 minutes. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door ajar.
In a medium size bowl, mix sliced strawberries with lemon zests and sugar if using. Then place in the fridge and let cool for about 2 hours. Remove 10 to 15 minutes before serving and enjoy!
