Print Recipe

A rich and creamy strawberry cheesecake featuring a smooth cream cheese filling, a buttery graham cracker crust, and a luscious strawberry topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g (about 2 cups) graham cracker crumbs
  • 100g (7 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
  • 900g (32 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar
  • 240ml (1 cup) sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 250g (about 2 cups) fresh strawberries
  • 50g (1/4 cup) sugar (for topping)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, then press into the bottom of the pan. Chill for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla; mix until combined.
  4. Pour filling over the crust. Bake for 55–65 minutes, until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  5. Turn off oven and let cheesecake cool inside with door slightly open for 1 hour.
  6. Chill in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. For topping: combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Cool completely.
  8. Top chilled cheesecake with strawberry mixture before serving.

Notes

  • For a smoother filling, ensure cream cheese is fully softened.
  • Do not overbake; the cheesecake will firm up as it cools.
  • You can use frozen strawberries for the topping if fresh are unavailable.
