Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter Melted
For the cheesecake filling
  • 3 blocks cream cheese (8 oz each) Should be at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
For topping
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries Sliced
  • 1 cup whipped cream For topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a springform pan.
  2. In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and sugar.
  3. Melt the butter and mix it into the flour mixture until crumbly. Press this mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to form a crust.
Cheesecake Filling
  1. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  3. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
  4. Slice the strawberries and layer them on top of the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Let it cool completely.
Serving
  1. Top with whipped cream and additional strawberries before serving.

Notes

Make sure all ingredients, especially the cream cheese, are at room temperature for better mixing. Don’t rush the cooling process; letting it cool completely helps achieve the perfect texture. Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and presentation.
