Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (mixed with 1 tbsp water)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Mix in sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla until combined. Pour over cooled crust.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until strawberries break down. Add cornstarch mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened. Cool completely.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the cooled strawberry sauce over the cheesecake filling. Swirl gently using a toothpick or knife.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let cool inside with the door ajar for 30 minutes.
  7. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Serve chilled, garnished with fresh strawberries or leftover strawberry sauce.
