    📖 Variations

    • Substitute graham cracker crumbs, crushed shortbread cookies, or pound cake crumbs for the crushed pretzels.
    • Use your favorite curd flavor, such as lemon curd or lime curd in place of the strawberry curd.
    • Make a salt rim instead of a sugar rim.

    💭 Tips

    • Be sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing the cheesecake mixture. If it is not soft enough to mix, place the cream cheese in the mixing bowl and microwave it for 10 seconds to soften.
