A buttery graham cracker crust provides the perfect foundation for the rich and velvety cheesecake filling. Cream cheese is the star of the show, ensuring a smooth and decadent bite in every slice. Fresh strawberries and a strawberry glaze take this recipe to the next level, adding a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with the creamy base.

Baking Tips for a Perfectly Creamy Cheesecake
Achieving the perfect baked cheesecake requires a few essential techniques. First, make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smooth, lump-free batter. Another crucial step is baking the cheesecake in a water bath, which ensures even cooking and prevents cracks. Finally, allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually and chill overnight will enhance its flavor and texture.
How to Serve and Store Your Cheesecake
Once your cheesecake has been baked and chilled, it’s time to serve! For the best presentation, slice with a sharp knife dipped in warm water and wiped clean between cuts. This ensures neat, beautiful slices. Serve with additional fresh strawberries, a dollop of whipped cream, or even a drizzle of chocolate for an extra indulgent touch.
To store your cheesecake, keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to five days. You can also freeze individual slices by wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and placing them in an airtight container. When ready to enjoy, let them thaw in the fridge overnight.
