Equipment

  • 9 inch springform pan you can use a baking dish as well
  • Hand mixer

Ingredients

Cheesecake

  • 4 8 oz full fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup cool whip

Crust

  • 2 cup graham crackers, crusted measure after blending, about 18 crackers
  • 8 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Strawberries

  • 4 cup strawberries 576g in weight
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cold water for cornstarch slurry
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch add extra TB for thicker sauce

Instructions

  • First, blend up the graham crackers until they are pretty much dust and crumbles. Then, add in the melted butter and mix. Use that to form the crust of the cheesecake. Press it down until it's all flat. Use some to form the sides as well.
  • Next, in a pot, add in the strawberries and granulated sugar. Cook on medium for about 10 minutes until the water has been released and the strawberries have cooked down some. Then remove from the heat and add into a blender or use an immersion blender and blend everything until smooth. Note, be careful when blending warm or hot liquids. Pressure builds up inside.
  • Take half of the blended strawberries and put to the side. Take the other half and pour back into the pot on medium heat. Add in the cornstarch slurry and mix until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, add the cream cheese and sour cream then cream them together. Now, add in the blended strawberries without the cornstarch and mix. Add in the powdered sugar next and mix until even. Lastly, fold in the cool whip into the cheesecake mix.
  • Pour the mixed cheesecake on top of the graham cracker crust and smooth everything out. Next add the thickened strawberries on top if it's cool. If it's still hot, allow it to cool first or add the topping later.
  • Place the assembled cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours to allow everything to set before serving then slice and enjoy.
