A rich and creamy Velvet Strawberry Cheesecake with a buttery graham cracker crust, topped with vibrant strawberry puree.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 3 packages (8 oz each) softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, pureed
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Mix until it resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  4. Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth.
  5. Add sour cream and sugar, mixing well to combine.
  6. Incorporate the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, ensuring each is blended before adding the next.
  7. Add the strawberry puree and cornstarch, and beat until fully combined.
  8. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan.
  9. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  10. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool.
  11. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened for a smoother consistency and consider using a water bath to prevent cracks.
