Description

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


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1215 fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Mix in sour cream and flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until the center is almost set. Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Dip strawberries in melted chocolate mixed with coconut oil (if using), then place on parchment to set.
  10. Top the chilled cheesecake with the chocolate-covered strawberries before serving.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother cheesecake filling.
  • Let the cheesecake cool gradually to prevent cracking.
  • You can drizzle extra melted chocolate over the finished cheesecake for added decoration.
