Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)
  • 5 tablespoons (70g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 24 ounces (680g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream
  • ¼ cup (60ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, pureed
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until sandy. Press firmly into bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes and cool.
  2. Puree 1 cup fresh strawberries in blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth (2-3 minutes). Gradually add sugar and beat until silky.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, fully blending each before adding next.
  5. Mix in sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in strawberry puree with rubber spatula to create marbled effect.
  7. Pour filling over cooled crust and smooth surface. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes until edges are set and center slightly jiggles.
  8. Turn off oven, crack door open, and cool cheesecake inside for 1 hour. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Toss sliced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let sit 15-20 minutes to macerate.
  10. Release cheesecake from pan, top with strawberry mixture, slice, and serve.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks. Let cheesecake cool slowly in oven and chill overnight for best results. If cracks appear, cover with thick strawberry topping. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained. For gluten-free, substitute crust with almond flour or gluten-free cookies. For dairy-free, use vegan cream cheese and coconut cream.
