2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. heavy cream
2 tbsp. strawberry preserves

Meanwhile, slice enough strawberries to make 1 1/2 cups; set aside. Set saucepan containing gelatin over medium-low heat; stir about 3 minutes until gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat; keep warm. In large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed, beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar about 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add yogurt and vanilla; beat until smooth and well blended. With motor running, slowly pour in gelatin mixture; beat well to blend. In small bowl, with mixer at high speed and using clean beaters, beat cream until soft peaks form; using rubber spatula, fold gently but thoroughly into cream cheese mixture. Fold in reserved sliced strawberries. Pour mixture into prepared pan; refrigerate at least 4 hours until firm. To serve: Run thin metal spatula or knife around the cheesecake to loosen from sides of pan; remove sides of pan. Slice remaining strawberries; arrange in circular pattern over top of cake. In small saucepan over very low heat, stir preserves until warm. Remove from heat; brush over strawberries. Makes 16 servings.
