Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened

• ½ cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
• 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

How to Make Caramel Cheesecake with Strawberries

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until crumbly. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Gently fold in the heavy cream and ½ cup caramel sauce until smooth.
6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
8. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely.
9. Once chilled, remove the sides of the springform pan. Top the cheesecake with fresh strawberries and drizzle with additional caramel sauce before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
• For a firmer cheesecake, bake it for a few extra minutes, but avoid overcooking.
• Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven to prevent cracking.
• Use a water bath for even baking and moisture retention.

Easy Variations

• Swap fresh strawberries for other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a different flavor.
• Add a layer of chocolate ganache on top for a chocolatey twist.
• Mix crushed nuts into the crust for added texture.

What to Serve With It

• A dollop of whipped cream for extra creaminess.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
• Coffee or espresso for a delightful contrast to the sweetness.
