Ingredients

Scale

1. Strawberry Swirl

  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch + 2 tsp water

2. Crust

3. Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 oz cream cheese (full-fat, softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment.
  • Make the strawberry swirl: Simmer strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice until softened. Puree until smooth. Add cornstarch slurry and simmer until thickened. Cool completely.
  • Prepare crust: Mix crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into pan and bake 10 minutes. Cool.
  • Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Mix in sour cream and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  • Pour half the batter into crust. Drop half the strawberry puree in spoonfuls. Swirl gently. Repeat with remaining batter and puree. Swirl again.
  • Bake for 55–65 minutes, until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Cool in oven with door ajar for 1 hour. Then cool at room temp, then refrigerate overnight.
  • Slice with a hot knife. Serve cold with extra strawberries if desired.

Notes

  • For clean cuts, dip your knife in hot water and wipe between slices.
  • Do not skip the overnight chill—it’s essential for perfect texture.
  • Use room-temperature ingredients for a smooth batter.
