Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberry crunch or crushed strawberry cereal
  • Fresh strawberry slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line or grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Let cool while preparing the filling.
  4. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 3/4 cup sugar, sour cream, and vanilla; mix well.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition.
  6. Gently fold in chopped strawberries.
  7. Pour filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 45–55 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
  8. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. Before serving, sprinkle with strawberry crunch and garnish with fresh strawberry slices.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the texture smooth.
  • Use fresh strawberries for best texture and flavor.
  • Let the cheesecake cool gradually to avoid cracking.
  • Apply crunchy topping just before serving to keep it crisp.
  • Store plain slices in the freezer without topping if needed.
