Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Heat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the base.
- Mix cookie crumbs with melted butter until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the pan base and slightly up the sides.
- Bake crust for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Cool briefly.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Scrape the bowl often for a lump-free batter.
- Add eggs one at a time on low speed. Mix in sour cream, vanilla, and strawberry puree just until combined.
- Pour filling over crust. Smooth the top and tap pan gently to release bubbles.
- Bake 45 to 55 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Turn oven off and crack the door.
- Cool cheesecake in oven 1 hour, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Mix crushed cookies, freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter until crumbly. Press topping onto chilled cheesecake before serving.
- Slice with a warm knife and serve chilled.
Notes
For a softer center, remove cheesecake when the middle still wobbles slightly. For firmer slices, bake a few extra minutes. Freeze whole or sliced cheesecake tightly wrapped for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Add crunch topping just before serving so it stays crisp. Try raspberries, chocolate drizzle, lemon zest, or vanilla wafers for flavor twists. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
