Preparation
Step 1
For the crust: Melt the butter. Brush a 9-inch spring form pan with some of the butter. Stir the remaining butter together with the crumbs, sugar, and salt. Press the crumb mixture over the bottom of the pan, taking care to get the crust evenly into the edges.
Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool.
Step 2
For the filling: Beat the cream cheese on medium speed with a hand-held mixer until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and beat just until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl and beaters as needed. Slowly beat in the sour cream, then eggs, vanilla and both citrus zests.
Step 3
For the topping:To make the topping, melt the jelly in a small pan over low heat. In a bowl, toss the strawberry and the warm jelly gently until well mixed. Arrange the strawberry on top of the cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
