🍰 How To Make Strawberry Cheesecake Pie

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
2. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a spoon to press the crumbs firmly into place.
3. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
5. Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully incorporated and the filling is smooth and lump-free.
6. Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly. Bake the pie at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and just slightly jiggly. The edges should be slightly puffed.
7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake to set.
8. In a small saucepan, combine the strawberry jam, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, about 3-5 minutes.
9. Remove the glaze from the heat and let it cool slightly before pouring it over the sliced strawberries. Gently toss the strawberries to coat them evenly with the glaze.
10. Once the cheesecake has set, arrange the glazed strawberries on top of the cheesecake layer. You can arrange them in a circular pattern or simply pile them on top, depending on your preference.
11. Chill the pie for an additional 30 minutes to allow the topping to set before slicing and serving.

💭 Recipe Tips:

• Use Full-Fat Cream Cheese: For the creamiest texture and best flavor, use full-fat cream cheese. Reduced-fat versions may result in a less rich and creamy filling.
• Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure all your ingredients, especially the cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream, are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smooth and lump-free filling.
• Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the cheesecake while it bakes. It’s done when the center is still slightly jiggly, but the edges are set. Overbaking can cause cracks in the cheesecake.
• Cool Gradually: Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually at room temperature before refrigerating. Rapid cooling can cause the cheesecake to crack or shrink away from the crust.
• Use Fresh Strawberries: Fresh, ripe strawberries provide the best flavor and texture for the topping. If fresh strawberries are out of season, you can use frozen ones, but be sure to thaw and drain them well.
• Add a Whipped Cream Border: For an extra touch of elegance, pipe whipped cream around the edges of the pie before adding the strawberry topping.
