Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 1/4 cups cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup strawberry puree
Instructions
-
Preheat and prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a springform pan. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.
-
Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in sour cream.
-
Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust. Spoon strawberry puree over the top, and gently swirl it into the cheesecake using a knife.
-
Bake and cool: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until set and lightly golden on top. Let the cheesecake cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
-
Serve chilled: Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
-
Add fresh strawberries on top for a fresh touch before serving.
-
For a different swirl, try using raspberry or blueberry puree instead of strawberry.
-
Drizzle with chocolate ganache for a decadent twist.
