An easy, creamy indulgent classic with some big strawberry flavour! It's time to pull out those beaters and the cream cheese that's been sitting at the back your fridge since January!
Another instalment in the cheesecake saga has arrived – this ah-ma-zing strawberry cheesecake!
There's really nothing fancy with today's recipe. It's simple, light, and quick. You'll be asking for a second slice before you know it. It's the perfect time for this recipe with strawberries coming into season soon!
For this cheesecake I decided to keep things simple and just used a plain cheesecake filling and stir in some strawberry jam. This results in a sublime strawberry flavour in the actual cheesecake batter. I topped things off with a strawberry cheesecake sauce and fresh strawberries.
Ingredients for Strawberry Cheesecake
Cream cheese - (without cream cheese, cheesecake wouldn't really be cheesecake so please don't try and omit it)
Greek yogurt - lends moisture and richness
Eggs - Gives the cheesecake a moist crumb
Lemon juice - For extra tanginess
Powdered sugar - For sweetness, easier to dissolve than granulated white sugar
Honey - Moisture and sweetness
Strawberry Jam - For some big strawberry flavour
Cornstarch - Helps prevent cracking and makes the cake easier to cut into clean slices
Graham Crackers - For the crust
Tips for the best strawberry cheesecake
Bring your cream cheese to room temperature so the cheesecake isn’t lumpy and the ingredients combine smoothly. Cream cheese that is too firm will not mix well and will leave you with a lumpy batter.
Don't overbake - this will leave cracks in your cheesecake!
Use a spring - form pan. This will make it much easier to remove the cheesecake and prevent a strenuous transfer from the pan.
How to strawberry cheesecake:
Wrap in plastic wrap and store the cheesecake up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
