Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
- In a large bowl, beat 4 packages of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar until smooth. Add 4 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour. Gently fold in 1 cup of sour cream and chopped fresh strawberries.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled graham cracker crust. Drop small spoonfuls of strawberry jam onto the surface of the cheesecake and use a toothpick to swirl it into the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. Enjoy!
