For the Cheesecake Filling:
3 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened about 680g
1 cup granulated sugar about 200g

3 large eggs 讀
2 teaspoons vanilla extract about 10ml
cup heavy cream about 60ml
For the Topping:
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
cup strawberry jam about 80g
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325F 163C. Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated.
Press into Pan: Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form an even layer.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
Beat the Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add Sour Cream: Add the sour cream and mix well until fully combined.
Incorporate the Eggs: Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
Add Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until combined.
Pour into Crust: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
3. Bake the Cheesecake:
Bake: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center is set but slightly wobbly.
Cool in Oven: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
Chill: After cooling, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
4. Prepare the Topping:
Top with Jam: Before serving, spread the strawberry jam evenly over the top of the cheesecake.
Add Strawberries: Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the cheesecake for a beautiful presentation.
Serving Suggestions:
Slice the cheesecake and serve chilled. Its perfect as a refreshing dessert for gatherings, celebrations, or simply as a sweet treat for yourself!
