How to Make Strawberry Glazed Cream Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 10-inch (or 9-inch) springform pan.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
- Prepare 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 vanilla extract.
- Pour filling over the cooled crust.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is just set. The edges will be set, but the center might still jiggle slightly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the strawberries soften and the sauce thickens.
- Strain the glaze through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds (optional).
- Let the glaze cool slightly before pouring over the cheesecake.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
