A little lemon juice brightens up the strawberry topping and prevents the finished cheesecake from being too sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know cheesecake requires more TLC than other desserts, but this really is a straightforward recipe that anyone can prepare. So long as you allow enough time for the cheesecake to chill before slicing into it, you shouldn&#8217;t have any issues making restaurant-quality cheesecake with strawberry topping at home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make this rich and creamy cheesecake for your next dinner party or family gathering. It can be prepared in advance (topping and all!), which makes for stress-free entertaining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Ingredients-1.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of the ingredients for a strawberry cheesecake.\" class=\"wp-image-54043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Ingredients-1.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Ingredients-1.jpg?resize=340%2C510&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Ingredients-1.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Ingredients-1.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Ingredients-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Ingredients-1.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Ingredients-1.jpg?resize=150%2C225&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredient Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I won&#8217;t go over every ingredient that&#8217;s listed in the recipe card at the end of the post, but there are a few important ones I want to review: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Graham Cracker Crumbs: <\/strong>You can buy pre-made graham cracker crumbs at the store or you can crush full sheets of graham crackers yourself using a food processor. To get 1 \u00bd cups of crumbs, you will need 11 to 12 full sheets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cream Cheese: <\/strong>Use full-fat cream cheese sold in foil-wrapped bricks. If you use low-fat or whipped cream cheese, the cheesecake will not set up properly. I have a post on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/how-to-soften-cream-cheese\/\">how to soften cream cheese<\/a>, in case you forgot to do so before starting this recipe. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sour Cream: <\/strong>Breaks up the heaviness of the cream cheese and makes for a creamier cheesecake. Again, opt for a full-fat version for best results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eggs: <\/strong>Also need to be brought to room temperature. You can do this quickly by submerging them in a bowl of warm tap water for 5 to 10 minutes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Strawberries: <\/strong>Select fresh strawberries that are vibrant red in color and don&#8217;t have any visible bruises or blemishes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cornstarch:<\/strong> Is used in the strawberry topping to thicken it up and makes for a cleaner slice of cheesecake. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" data-id=\"53471\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-1.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of graham cracker crumbs in a glass mixing bowl, with a whisk. \" class=\"wp-image-53471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-1.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-1.jpg?resize=340%2C510&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-1.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-1.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-1.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-1.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-1.jpg?resize=150%2C225&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" data-id=\"53472\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-2.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of a graham cracker crust in a springform pan. \" class=\"wp-image-53472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-2.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-2.jpg?resize=340%2C510&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-2.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-2.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-2.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-2.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-2.jpg?resize=150%2C225&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Make Strawberry Cheesecake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make the Graham Cracker Crust <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn the mixture into a parchment paper-lined, 9-inch springform pan.

Detailed instructions on this process have been provided in the recipe card below, but I also have a post on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/water-bath-for-cheesecake\/\">How to Make a Water Bath for Cheesecake<\/a> that you can reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" data-id=\"53477\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-7.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of strawberry topping in a glass mixing bowl. \" class=\"wp-image-53477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-7.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-7.jpg?resize=340%2C510&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-7.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-7.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-7.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-7.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-7.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-7.jpg?resize=150%2C225&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" data-id=\"53478\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-8.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of strawberry topping being spooned over a baked cheesecake. \" class=\"wp-image-53478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-8.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-8.jpg?resize=340%2C510&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-8.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-8.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-8.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-8.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-8.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Step-8.jpg?resize=150%2C225&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make the Strawberry Topping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"7\">\n<li>Combine the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch slurry in a large saucepan.

It allows it to bake slowly and gently so you end up with a smooth and creamy cheesecake that doesn&#8217;t crack.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1715085375176\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What&#8217;s the best way to tell when cheesecake is done? <\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You&#8217;ll know the cheesecake is finished baking when the edges are set and the center has just barely set but still has a slight jiggle to it. Remember that the cheesecake will finish setting up as it cools in the oven and chills in the fridge.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1715085256045\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can the strawberry topping be added in advance? <\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can spoon the strawberry topping over the cheesecake after it&#8217;s chilled for at least 5 hours in the fridge. You can then re-cover the cheesecake and slice it later; the strawberry sauce won&#8217;t affect the texture of the cheesecake. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1715085067213\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can the cheesecake be frozen? <\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can freeze the cheesecake whole or in slices. I recommend freezing it without the topping and adding it once it&#8217;s thawed out.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-5.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A close-up view of a strawberry cheesecake slice, with a bite speared on a fork. \" class=\"wp-image-53466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-5.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-5.jpg?resize=340%2C510&amp;ssl=1 340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-5.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-5.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-5.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-5.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-5.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-5.jpg?resize=150%2C225&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-lightmint-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baking Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make sure all of your ingredients for the cheesecake filling are at room temperature before getting started. This will ensure that the filling turns out smooth and creamy!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You need to use full-fat dairy products in this recipe. This will keep the cheesecake moist and flavorful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t shortchange the cooling process! The cheesecake must first cool for an hour in the oven with the door cracked, then on a wire rack at room temperature, and finally it has to chill in the fridge for a few hours. If you skip any of these steps, the cheesecake might crack, fall in the middle, or not set up properly. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe-video\"><\/div><div
