Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Base

  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs

Strawberry Swirl

  • 1/2 cup strawberry sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to create a silky cheesecake batter.
  2. Add Strawberry Swirl: Pour the batter into a prepared springform pan. Drop spoonfuls of strawberry sauce evenly on top of the batter. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the sauce into the batter to create a marbled effect without fully mixing it in.
  3. Bake the Cheesecake: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes until the edges are set but the center still slightly jiggles when gently shaken.
  4. Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let it set completely and enhance the flavors.
  5. Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the creamy texture and sweet strawberry contrast in every bite.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and allow it to soften to room temperature before mixing.
  • Swirling too much may cause the strawberry sauce to blend fully; keep the swirl gentle and minimal.
  • Use a water bath during baking if you want a creamier texture and to prevent cracks.
  • Store leftover cheesecake tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
