🥘Ingredients

For the Crust

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling

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

For the Strawberry Compote

1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Strawberry Topping

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 tbsp granulated sugar

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 325°F.
2In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined.
3Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
4Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
5In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
6Add the sour cream, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract and salt.
7Mix until well combined and smooth.
8Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust.
9Bake for 60-65 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
10Turn off the oven, crack the door open about 1 inch, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
11This helps prevent cracking.
12While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the strawberry compote.
13In a saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
14Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
15Set aside to cool.
16Once the cheesecake is cool, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
17Once cooled, spread the strawberry compote evenly over the cheesecake.
18Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
19Before serving, prepare the strawberry topping.
20In a bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with sugar.
21Let them sit for 10 minutes to release their juices.
22Arrange the strawberries on top of the cheesecake.
23Slice and serve.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Stuffed Strawberry Cheesecake

2. How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Keep in mind that the strawberries on top may become soggy over time, so it’s best to consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.

3. Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the cheesecake up to 2 days ahead of time. Store it in the refrigerator and add the strawberry topping just before serving. This will help maintain the freshness of the strawberries.

4. Can I freeze the cheesecake?

Yes, you can freeze the cheesecake for up to 2 months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil before freezing. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Keep in mind that freezing may affect the texture of the cheesecake.

5. Can I make a gluten-free version?

Yes, you can make a gluten-free version by using gluten-free graham crackers or a gluten-free cookie crust. Make sure all other ingredients are also gluten-free.
