  • Author: ushinzomr

Description

Creamy, Beautiful & Totally Irresistible

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup strawberry puree
  • 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the sour cream until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the strawberry puree and lemon juice. Set aside.
  5. Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Drizzle half of the strawberry puree over the batter and use a knife to swirl it into the cheesecake. Repeat with the remaining batter and puree.
  6. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool gradually.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  8. Garnish with fresh strawberries before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
  • You can make the strawberry puree by blending fresh strawberries until smooth.
  • For best results, refrigerate the cheesecake overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
