Description

A decadent and creamy cheesecake topped with chocolate-covered strawberries, perfect for special occasions or indulgent desserts.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for melting chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla, mixing well.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating on low speed. Stir in sour cream and flour until combined.
  5. Pour cheesecake filling over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off oven, crack door, and let cheesecake cool for 1 hour inside the oven.
  7. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Wash and dry strawberries. Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  9. Dip strawberries in melted chocolate and place on parchment paper until set.
  10. Top the chilled cheesecake with the chocolate-covered strawberries before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling.
  • Make ahead for best texture and flavor—chilling overnight is ideal.
  • You can use dark, milk, or white chocolate for covering strawberries.
  • Optional: drizzle additional chocolate over the finished cheesecake for extra decoration.
