Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Cheesecake

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  • In a food processor, pulse graham crackers into fine crumbs. Combine crumbs with melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and sides of a springform pan.
  • Bake the crust for about 10 minutes until golden, then cool.
  • Beat softened cream cheese in a stand mixer until smooth. Gradually add sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and bake for 45-50 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar to cool.
  • Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
  • Combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium-low heat and stir until softened.
  • Mix cornstarch with water and add to the strawberry mixture, stirring until thickened.
  • Release the cheesecake from the springform pan and serve with strawberry sauce drizzled on top.

Notes

Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for best results. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks. Chill thoroughly for optimal flavor and texture.
