Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • Saucepan

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1.5 cups Chocolate Graham Cracker Crumbs or use regular graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cups Butter Melted or substitute with coconut oil for dairy-free option

For the Filling

  • 16 oz Full Fat Cream Cheese or vegan cream cheese for dairy-free
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar or granulated erythritol for low-calorie option
  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberry Puree or use strawberry jam if fresh is unavailable
  • 3 large Eggs use room temperature for best results

For the Ganache Topping

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well blended. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch springform pan to form a sturdy base.
  • Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until fluffy and smooth. Gradually mix in the fresh strawberry puree.
  • Incorporate Eggs: Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
  • Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the creamy filling over the prepared crust. Bake it in a water bath at 325°F for about 1 hour.
  • Chill: Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours—overnight is best.
  • Make the Ganache: Heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Pour it over the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until glossy.
  • Decorate: Drizzle the cooled ganache over the chilled cheesecake. Top with fresh strawberries, either whole or chocolate-dipped.

Notes

Serve with whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence. Use room temperature eggs for a smoother texture.
