How to Make Luscious Strawberry Dream Cheesecake
Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form an even crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let it cool.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and pureed strawberries until fully incorporated.

Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for about 1 hour.

Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely. Before serving, arrange the halved fresh strawberries on top and drizzle with strawberry glaze.

Tips:

Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing and a smooth texture.
For the best flavor, use fresh strawberries.

Substitutions and Variations:

Use a chocolate cookie crust instead of a graham cracker crust for added richness.
Substitute fresh strawberries with other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a different flavor.
Add a layer of lemon zest to the filling for a zesty kick.

Make a Healthier Version:

Use low-fat cream cheese and a sugar substitute for a lighter cheesecake.
Replace the graham cracker crust with a nut-based crust for added nutrition.
