  • Total Time: 20 minutes + chilling time (at least 4 hours)
  • Yield: 8-10 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted
  • 300g cream cheese, softened
  • 150g granulated sugar
  • 200ml sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 300g fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry jam (optional, for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, to enhance flavor)

Instructions

  1. Begin by crushing the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix them with the melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture evenly into the base of a 9-inch springform pan to form a firm crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Incorporate sour cream or Greek yogurt and mix until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Pour the cream cheese filling over the chilled crust. Gently arrange the sliced strawberries over the top. If desired, drizzle with strawberry jam for added flavor. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  4. Before serving, garnish with additional strawberries or a dollop of whipped cream. Optionally, brush the top with a little strawberry jam for extra shine and flavor. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and vibrant color.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly to allow flavors to meld and ensure proper setting.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar according to your taste.
  • A splash of lemon juice adds a refreshing tang to the filling.
  • Adding a touch of vanilla extract enhances the richness of the cream cheese mixture.
