Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 32 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the topping:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Make the crust: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until fully combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, making sure it's even. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
3. Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the sugar and flour, and mix until well-combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully combined before adding the next. Lastly, add in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and beat until the mixture is smooth.
4. Pour the filling over the crust: Pour the filling over the cooled crust, and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake for 1 hour, or until the center is set and doesn't jiggle. Once done, let the cheesecake cool to room temperature before covering it loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerating it for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight.
5. Make the topping: In a medium-sized saucepan, mix together the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to thicken and the strawberries release their juices. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
6. Add the topping: Once the cheesecake has chilled, remove it from the fridge and pour the strawberry topping over the top. Spread it out evenly with a spatula, and return the cheesecake to the fridge for another 30 minutes to an hour to let the topping set.
