How to Make Strawberry Amaretto Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
- For the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- For the filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating until combined. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in amaretto and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, gently fold in the sliced strawberries.
- Pour filling over the crust and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the center is just set. A slight jiggle is okay.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for an additional 30 minutes to prevent cracking.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Before serving, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Garnish with fresh strawberries and a drizzle of amaretto (optional).
