This Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake is rich, creamy, and beautifully swirled with fresh strawberry sauce. Baked to perfection on a buttery graham cracker crust, this elegant dessert is perfect for special occasions or anytime you’re craving a decadent treat!

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Strawberry Swirl:

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 24 oz (3 blocks) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Strawberry Swirl

  1. In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat.
  2. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until strawberries break down.
  3. Add the cornstarch slurry and simmer for 1 minute, until thickened.
  4. Remove from heat, blend until smooth (if desired), and let cool.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth (2-3 minutes).
  2. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing just until combined.
  3. Mix in vanilla, sour cream, and heavy cream until smooth.

Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake

  1. Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust.
  2. Spoon dollops of strawberry sauce on top, then use a knife or toothpick to swirl.

Step 5: Bake the Cheesecake

  1. Wrap the springform pan in foil and place in a water bath (a roasting pan with hot water).
  2. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  3. Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let cool for 1 hour.

Step 6: Chill & Serve

  1. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) before slicing.
  2. Serve chilled with extra strawberry sauce or fresh strawberries.

Notes

  • Water Bath Tip: Prevent leaks by wrapping the pan in 2-3 layers of foil.
  • Make It Sweeter: Add 1 tbsp honey or extra sugar to the strawberry sauce.
  • Storage: Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
