Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until mixed. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden brown. Let cool.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar; mix well. Add sour cream and vanilla extract and combine thoroughly.
  3. Incorporate eggs one at a time on low speed to avoid overmixing.
  4. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth out the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Turn off the oven, crack open the door slightly, and let cool gradually before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
  6. Top with sliced strawberries before serving.
