A creamy and delicious strawberry cheesecake topped with fresh strawberries and a graham cracker crust. Perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the sour cream and flour until just combined.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge to loosen the cheesecake, then remove the sides of the springform pan.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, heat the strawberry jam in a small saucepan until melted. Stir in the fresh strawberries.
- Spread the strawberries over the top of the cheesecake and serve.
Notes
- For a smoother cheesecake, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
- You can substitute the fresh strawberries with other berries if desired.
- This cheesecake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until serving.
