Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the cheesecake filling:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened (3 packages)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream at room temperature
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
For the strawberry sauce topping:
- 1 pound fresh strawberries sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
For the whipped cream topping:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar for the crust. Mix until evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan and slightly up the sides to create an extra-thick crust. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to press it down firmly.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat until fluffy and well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the cream cheese mixture, scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the room-temperature sour cream and heavy cream. Sift 1/4 cup all-purpose flour into the sour cream and heavy cream mixture. Stir until just combined.
- Gently fold the sour cream, heavy cream, and flour mixture into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven, crack open the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
- After cooling in the oven, remove the cheesecake and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
- For the strawberry sauce topping, combine the sliced fresh strawberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan.
- Cook the strawberry mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and the strawberries soften (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. If you want a thicker sauce, cook it for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour the slightly cooled strawberry sauce over the chilled cheesecake. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
- For the whipped cream topping, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
- Pipe or spoon the whipped cream onto the chilled cheesecake before serving.
- Slice and serve the cheesecake with extra strawberry sauce on the side.
