Description

A stunning dessert combining rich black sesame and vibrant red velvet flavors, perfect for special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups black sesame cookie crumbs
  • 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 heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • Red food coloring (amount to achieve desired color)
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the black sesame cookie crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in the sour cream and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Mix in the cocoa powder and red food coloring until the batter turns a deep red.
  6. Pour the red velvet cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top appears slightly dry.
  7. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for about 1 hour. After cooling, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
  8. Arrange the fresh strawberry slices on top of the chilled cheesecake. Warm the strawberry jam in the microwave for a few seconds until it becomes spreadable. Brush the jam over the strawberries to give them a glossy finish.
  9. Slice and serve this beautiful cheesecake to enjoy!

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter. Store tightly covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
