Description
A delightful and creamy strawberry cheesecake that combines the richness of cream cheese with the freshness of strawberries.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups crushed digestive biscuits
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup melted coconut oil
- 4 (8-ounce) packages softened cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, cleaned and sliced
- ¼ cup strawberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- In a mixing bowl, blend the crushed digestive biscuits with brown sugar and melted coconut oil until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Firmly press this blend into the base of a 9-inch springform pan to create a sturdy crust.
- In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the softened cream cheese until it’s luxuriously smooth.
- Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well mixed.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently on low speed after each addition to maintain a light texture.
- Carefully pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
- Bake for approximately 55-60 minutes, or until the center appears set with just a slight wobble.
- Once done, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for an hour.
- After cooling, transfer the cheesecake to room temperature and spread the Greek yogurt evenly across the top.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for optimal flavor.
- When ready to serve, adorn the cheesecake with fresh strawberry slices and a drizzle of strawberry jam. Cut into slices and enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, chill the cheesecake overnight.
- Feel free to substitute the digestive biscuits with graham crackers if preferred.
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
