Strawberry Cheesecake
Strawberry cheesecake is a delightful dessert that combines the tangy goodness of cream cheese with the sweet, juicy flavor of strawberries. It typically consists of a graham cracker crust, a creamy cheesecake filling, and a luscious strawberry topping.
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 24 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- Whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan to form the crust.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated into the cream cheese mixture.
- Pour the cream cheese filling over the graham cracker crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the filling, gently pressing them into the mixture.
- In a small saucepan, heat the strawberry jam over low heat until it becomes runny. Drizzle the warm jam over the strawberries, creating a beautiful glaze.
- Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly golden.
- Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to fully set.
- When ready to serve, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Garnish with additional sliced strawberries and whipped cream if desired.
- Enjoy!
