Ingredients
- 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 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- For the strawberry sauce:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan.
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to create the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in sour cream and flour until just combined. Pour this cheesecake mixture over the crust in the pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edge to loosen it. Allow it to cool completely.
- For the strawberry sauce, combine strawberries and 1/2 cup sugar in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Serve slices of the cheesecake drizzled with the strawberry sauce.
