Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
  • ÂĽ cup granulated sugar (for sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • â…“ cup granulated sugar (for crust)

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ÂĽ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberry sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until softened. Mash to desired consistency and stir in cornstarch slurry; cook until thickened. Let cool.
  2. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Make the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press mixture into the bottom of a springform pan and bake for 8–10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  3. Make the filling: Beat softened cream cheese with sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, sour cream, and heavy cream until smooth.
  4. Assemble: Pour filling into cooled crust and drop spoonfuls of strawberry sauce on top. Swirl gently with a knife.
  5. Bake: Place springform pan in a larger baking dish filled with hot water (about halfway up). Bake for 55–65 minutes until set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Cool: Turn off oven and leave cheesecake inside with door ajar for an hour before removing it from the water bath. Chill in the refrigerator for at least six hours or overnight before serving.
