Description

A rich and creamy cheesecake topped with chocolate-covered strawberries, combining two classic desserts into one indulgent treat.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1215 fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for chocolate coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup sugar and vanilla, and mix until combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Add sour cream and heavy cream, and mix until smooth.
  5. Pour the batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until the center is set. Let cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Wash and dry strawberries. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  8. Dip strawberries into the melted chocolate and place on parchment paper to set.
  9. Once the cheesecake is chilled, arrange chocolate-covered strawberries on top before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly for best texture.
  • You can drizzle additional chocolate over the top for extra flair.
