However, there's no need to worry because this recipe is easy and doesn't require sour cream. In this article, we'll show you how to make an easy strawberry cheesecake recipe without sour cream.
Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you'll need:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberry puree
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
Step 2: Prepare the crust
Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Step 3: Make the cheesecake filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and beat until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract and beat until well combined. Fold in the strawberry puree.
Step 4: Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven for an additional 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy
Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and serve. You can top it with fresh strawberries or whipped cream if desired.
