Description
A delightful dessert combining creamy cheesecake with fresh strawberries, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups digestive or graham cracker crumbs (about 13 cookies)
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 24 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup full-fat sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp Torani strawberry syrup
- 1 tsp strawberry extract
- 7–9 Lindt strawberry cream white chocolate truffles
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 11 Lindt strawberry cream white chocolate truffles (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a bowl, mix the cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar together to make the crust. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and eggs, mixing each one well. Then, add the sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat until the batter is smooth.
- Divide the batter in half. Mix the strawberry syrup into one half. Pour the strawberry batter over the crust. Place the Lindt truffles on top, then cover it with the plain batter.
- Wrap the springform pan in foil, place it in a larger pan, and add water to the outer pan. Bake in the oven for 1 hour and 16 to 25 minutes. Once done, cool in the oven for 1-2 hours, then refrigerate overnight.
- To serve, whip the cream with powdered sugar, pipe it onto the cheesecake, and decorate with truffles.
Notes
Make sure to use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing. Don’t skip the chilling step for best results.
