Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture into a springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes until golden, then cool.
- In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently to avoid overmixing.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake for 50-60 minutes until set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an hour with the door ajar to prevent cracking as it cools.
- For the topping, mix chopped strawberries with a tablespoon of sugar and let sit to create a syrup.
- Serve slices topped with strawberries and whipped cream.
