This Strawberry Cream Cheesecake combines a velvety cream cheese filling with juicy strawberries on a buttery graham cracker crust, making it a showstopping dessert for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) graham crackers, crushed
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 24 ounces (680g) full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240g) sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 pound (450g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup (150g) strawberry jam, warmed

Instructions

  1. Crush 2 cups (200g) of graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor. Mix them with 6 tablespoons (85g) of melted butter and 2 tablespoons (25g) of sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
  2. In a mixer, beat 24 ounces (680g) of cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup (200g) of sugar and mix until incorporated. Add 1 cup (240g) of sour cream, 1 teaspoon (5ml) of vanilla extract, and 3 large eggs (one at a time), mixing well after each addition. Pour the filling over the chilled crust.
  3. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Place the cheesecake on the middle rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. Slice 1 pound (450g) of fresh strawberries lengthwise. Warm 1/2 cup (150g) of strawberry jam slightly to loosen it. Arrange the strawberries on top of the cooled cheesecake and brush them with the jam for a glossy finish.
  5. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

For a smoother filling, use room-temperature cream cheese and sour cream. To prevent cracks, bake the cheesecake in a water bath and allow it to cool gradually. Chill overnight for the best texture and flavor.
