Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a bowl, mix chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in sour cream until smooth.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the crust.
- In a separate bowl, mix strawberry puree with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Drop spoonfuls of the strawberry mixture onto the cheesecake batter and swirl it using a knife.
- Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top and swirl again with the strawberry puree.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until the center is set.
- Turn off the oven, leaving the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to prevent cracks.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Serving
- Serve chilled and enjoy with fresh strawberries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Notes
For added flavor, feel free to top with whipped cream or use different fruit purees such as raspberry or blueberry.
