Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh strawberries elevates the flavor profile.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
½ cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
Pinch of salt

How to Make Strawberry Caramel Cheesecake

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar, beating until fully incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract and pinch of salt, mixing well. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated after each addition. Do not overmix.
Pour in the heavy cream and mix on low speed until smooth and fluffy.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Before serving, top the cheesecake with fresh strawberries and drizzle with caramel sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling.
Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
Let the cheesecake cool gradually in the oven to help prevent cracks.

Easy Variations

Swap strawberries for other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a mixed berry cheesecake.
Add a layer of chocolate ganache on top for a chocolate twist.
Incorporate a layer of lemon curd for a zesty flavor contrast.

What to Serve With It

A dollop of whipped cream
Fresh mint leaves for garnish
A scoop of vanilla ice cream
A cup of coffee or espresso

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It’s best enjoyed chilled and does not require reheating.
