  • Total Time: 5 hours 30 minutes (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • ½ cup strawberry jam
  • 1 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in sour cream and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  8. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
  9. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  10. Once chilled, top the cheesecake with sliced strawberries and drizzle with strawberry jam.
  11. In a small bowl, mix crushed freeze-dried strawberries with granulated sugar and sprinkle over the cheesecake for added crunch.
  12. Slice and serve, enjoying each creamy, crunchy bite!

Notes

  • For a more intense strawberry flavor, use homemade strawberry sauce instead of jam.
  • You can substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • Feel free to add a layer of whipped cream on top before serving for extra richness.
