Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries (454g)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • 4 tablespoons corn starch
  • 2¼ cups graham cracker crumbs (375 grams)
  • ½ cup melted, unsalted butter
  • 3 packages full fat cream cheese (750 grams or 24 oz total)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • whipped cream and fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  • Wash and chop strawberries. Puree until smooth using a food processor or blender, then strain through a fine mesh strainer.
  • Whisk together strawberry puree, granulated sugar and corn starch until smooth. Place in medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until very thick. Set aside to cool slightly (pop it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes if you don't want to wait).
  • Line a 9" Springform pan with parchment paper (optional -- just helps to remove the cheesecake when it's chilled). 
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter and press firmly into the bottom and ½" up the sides of the Springform pan. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on high speed until smooth. 
  • Add powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add strawberry sauce and beat on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into the cheesecake mixture with an electric mixer on low speed.
  • Spread cheesecake filling into prepared crust and refrigerate at least 6-8 hours or overnight until thoroughly chilled and set. 
  • Garnish with whipped cream and chopped strawberries as desired.

Notes

*This recipe works well with any fresh fruit puree! 
*Frozen strawberries have too much liquid to work well in this recipe.
