Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry glaze or jam (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in 1 cup sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until incorporated. Overmixing can cause cracks in the cheesecake, so be careful!
- Stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool down gradually.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set properly.
- Before serving, top the cheesecake with fresh strawberries. If desired, you can drizzle strawberry glaze or jam on top for an extra sweet touch.
- Slice your cheesecake, serve, and enjoy this delicious treat!
