Equipment

  • 1 Springform pan
  • 1 Microwave oven
  • 1 Large Bowl
  • 1 Small Saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3 cups cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced
  • 1/4 cup strawberry preserves or jam

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • Few Fresh Strawberry for Garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  • Gently fold in the sliced strawberries.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust in the pan, spreading it evenly.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the strawberry preserves or jam over low heat until it becomes more liquid and pourable. Drizzle the strawberry preserves or jam over the cream cheese mixture and swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Before serving, spread the whipped cream over the top of the cheesecake and garnish with fresh strawberries.
