Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup strawberry puree
- Red food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until well combined.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the pan.
- In a small bowl, mix the strawberry puree with a few drops of red food coloring (if desired) to achieve a vibrant pink color. Drop spoonfuls of the strawberry mixture onto the cheesecake batter. Use a knife to gently swirl the strawberry mixture into the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. Enjoy!
