Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe

Strawberry Cheesecake Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the crust

   Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust.

2. 2

   Make the filling

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add in the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

3. 3

   Add white chocolate and strawberries

   Melt the white chocolate in a microwave or double boiler. Let it cool slightly, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.

4. 4

   Bake the cheesecake

   Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an hour with the door ajar.

5. 5

   Cool and serve

   Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. To serve, slice and garnish with fresh mint leaves and drizzle with anglaise sauce.
