Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese softened
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 3 large Eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs or chocolate wafer cookies
  • 1/2 cup Butter melted
For the Toppings
  • 8 oz Chocolate high-quality
  • 1 lb Strawberries fresh and ripe

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are fully coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick. Set the crust aside while you prepare the filling.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined, then incorporate the sour cream. The mixture should be smooth and fluffy; avoid overmixing.
  3. Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes, until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Allow the cheesecake to cool inside the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  4. After cooling, remove the cheesecake and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap.
  5. While the cheesecake chills, wash and dry fresh strawberries. Melt your chocolate in 30-second intervals until smooth. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate and place them on a parchment-lined tray to cool.
  6. Once the cheesecake has chilled, carefully remove it from the springform pan. Arrange the chocolate-covered strawberries on top and drizzle any remaining chocolate over them before slicing and serving.
