Equipment

  • Stand Mixer

Ingredients

Strawberry Cheesecake

  • 2.5 lbs Cream Cheese Softened
  • 1.5 cups Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Flour
  • 5 each Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 cup Strawberry Preserves
  • 6 each Strawberries Sliced

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1.5 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 1.5 cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 stick Butter Melted
  • .5 tsp Salt

Chantilly Cream

  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • .5 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300℉. Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, melted butter, and salt. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch cake pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes and then set aside.
  • Beat the softened cream cheese in your stand mixer until it is soft and smooth. Be sure to scrape down the sides of your bowl frequently.
  • Add the sugar and flour to your cream cheese. Beat on medium speed until well incorporated.
  • Add half of the eggs to your cream cheese mixture and beat on medium speed until combined. Scrape down the sides of your bowl with a spatula. Add the other half of your eggs and vanilla, and beat on medium speed again until combined. Scrape down the sides of your bowl again.
  • Add the strawberry preserves to your cheesecake base and mix on medium speed.
  • Pour the cheesecake mixture into the pan with your graham cracker crust. Place your cheesecake pan into a larger pan and fill the larger pan with water. Carefully move this into your oven and bake for about 1.5 hours.
  • Remove your cheesecake from the oven and move it to your freezer. You want the cake to be very cold when you remove it from the pan. I like to leave it overnight, but a couple hours will do the trick.
  • Loosen your cheesecake from the pan with a knife or offset spatula and remove it from the pan. Place it onto a cake board, cake stand, serving platter... whatever you plan on serving it on!
  • Whip together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until it has a medium-stiff peak. Either pipe or spread the whipped cream on top of your cheesecake.
  • Slice up your fresh strawberries and artfully arrange them on top of your cheesecake.
  • Enjoy!
