Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in 1 cup sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Baking
- Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust. Then take the strawberry puree and swirl it into the cheesecake mixture using a knife or spatula. Pour the remaining cheesecake mixture on top.
- Bake for about 55-60 minutes or until the center is set.
Cooling
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serving
- Before serving, garnish with chopped fresh strawberries.

Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for easier blending. Don’t overmix the eggs; mix until just combined to keep the cheesecake creamy. For a pretty presentation, you can add some fresh strawberries on top after it cools.
