This Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake is a delightful dessert. It features a creamy cheesecake on a crunchy crust, topped with fresh strawberries and a sweet strawberry crunch crumble.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • Few drops red food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. For the crust, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. Bake crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  4. For the cheesecake filling, beat softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar in a large bowl until smooth.
  5. Beat in vanilla extract, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in sour cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  9. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  11. For the strawberry crunch, combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and cold butter in a bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Add a few drops of red food coloring if desired.
  12. Spread the crumble on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden and crispy. Let cool completely.
  13. Before serving, top the chilled cheesecake with sliced fresh strawberries and the strawberry crunch crumble.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • Do not open the oven door frequently while baking the cheesecake to prevent cracking.
  • For best results, chill the cheesecake overnight.
  • Adjust the amount of red food coloring in the crunch crumble to your preference.
