Ingredients

Crust Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 1 1/2 Tbps Sugar
  • 5 Tbsp Butter melted

Strawberry Sauce:

  • 2 1/2 Cups Fresh Strawberries washed and chopped
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar

Cheesecake:

  • 16 oz Cream Cheese room temperature
  • 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 Tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 1/4 Cups Sugar
  • 8 oz Full-Fat Sour Cream
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract

Garnish:

  • 1 Cup Farm Fresh Strawberries washed

Instructions

  • Mix sugar, graham crumbs, and melted butter together in a small mixing bowl. Mix well and should be the consistency of wet sand.
  • Lightly grease a 9-inch spring-form cheesecake pan.
  • Dump the crumb mixture into the bottom of the greased pan and press firmly. Set aside or in the freezer.
  • In a small sauce pan add chopped strawberries and sugar. Cook on medium heat for about 10-13 minutes. Mash the strawberries with a wooden spatula or spoon until you have a jam-like texture.
  • If you would like the sauce to have fewer chunks and be all the same texture you can also allow it to cool. Then run it through a blender. You can skip this if you don’t mind having strawberry chunks.
  • In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until well blended.
  • Add in the eggs and mix until fully blended. Make sure not to overbeat the eggs.
  • Next add in the sour cream and heavy cream, and starch. Mix until thoroughly blended. It should look like thick yogurt, not liquid.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust.
  • Pour strawberry sauce over the cheesecake filling. Feel free to do some swirls with a toothpick if you like.
  • Place the cheesecake pan into a water bath.
  • Bake in a water bath at 375F for 1 hour, or until the center is no longer liquid and just slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in with the door slightly ajar until the cheesecake has cooled to room temperature.
  • Once the cheesecake has cooled, cover and put it in the refrigerator and let it set overnight.
  • Before serving, slice some fresh strawberries and place them on the cheesecake.
