The Best strawberry stuffed cheesecake recipe

I have always loved baking, and one of my favorite desserts to make is strawberry stuffed cheesecake. This recipe is a perfect blend of creamy cheesecake and the tangy sweetness of strawberries.

It is a hit with my family, especially my kids who love the combination of textures and flavors. It is a perfect dessert for any occasion, whether it is a family gathering, a holiday celebration, or just a weeknight treat.

The best part is that it is not too difficult to make, and the ingredients are easy to find. Strawberries are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, making this dessert not only delicious but also nutritious.

The cheesecake part is high in protein and calcium, thanks to the cream cheese and eggs. I often make this recipe for my family and friends and everyone loves it.

The visual appeal of this dessert is also a plus, with the beautiful red strawberries peeking out from the creamy cheesecake. It is a dessert that looks as good as it tastes, and I always get compliments on how it looks on the table.

🥘Ingredients

For the Crust

1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tbsp melted butter
⅓ cup granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling

4 8-oz packages cream cheese, softened
1¼ cups granulated sugar
¾ cup sour cream, room temperature
¾ cup heavy cream, room temperature
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon juice

For the Strawberry Filling

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp cornstarch

For the Whipped Cream Topping

1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 325°F.
2In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.
3Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
4Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and set aside to cool.
5Reduce oven temperature to 300°F.
6In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
7Add sour cream and heavy cream, and beat until well combined.
8Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
9Stir in vanilla extract and lemon juice.
10Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the cooled crust.
11In a separate bowl, toss strawberries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
12Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the cheesecake batter in the pan.
13Pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the strawberries, smoothing the top with a spatula.
14Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish and fill the dish with about an inch of hot water to create a water bath.
15Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
16Turn off the oven and crack the door open about an inch.
17Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for another hour.
18This helps prevent cracking.
19Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
20Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set completely.
21Just before serving, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
22Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the cheesecake.
23Slice and serve chilled.
