How to Make Strawberry Vanilla Bean Cheesecake Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and honey. Mix until well combined.
- Press crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, forming an even crust.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and ricotta cheese together until smooth using a mixer on medium speed.
- Beat in 2/3 cup granulated sugar and vanilla bean seeds (or extract) until combined.
- Beat in the egg until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 45 minutes.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
- While the cheesecake is chilling, prepare the strawberry sauce:
- In a medium nonstick skillet, whisk together 5 tablespoons of sugar, water, and cornstarch until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens.
- Stir in the sliced strawberries and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the strawberries are softened and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely before refrigerating.
- Serve chilled cheesecake pie topped with the chilled strawberry sauce.
