How to Make Comfort Joy Philadelphia New York Style Strawberry Swirl
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar, beating until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vanilla extract, and cornstarch until smooth.
- Gently fold the sour cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
- In a small bowl, gently mash the strawberries. Stir in a tablespoon of sugar for sweetness (adjust according to your preference).
- Pour half of the cream cheese mixture into the prepared springform pan. Spoon the strawberry mixture over the top. Gently swirl the strawberry mixture into the cream cheese batter using a knife or toothpick. Pour the remaining cream cheese batter on top.
- Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath for even baking).
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center. Do not overbake!
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and let it cool completely at room temperature.
- Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to fully set.
- Before serving, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with fresh strawberries and whipped cream (optional).
