Strawberry New York Cheesecake Recipe 🍓 | Cozy Baking with Bossa Nova

A rainy day, a little bossa nova, and a homemade strawberry New York cheesecake. 🍓 After travelling for two weekends in a row, it feels good to be back in the kitchen. Today, I’m making a creamy cheesecake with a buttery graham cracker crust and a thick homemade strawberry topping. Put on something cosy and bake along with me. RECIPE Makes one 6-inch cheesecake GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST • 105g graham crackers, finely crushed • 1 tbsp caster sugar • ½ tbsp light brown sugar • 49g melted butter 1. Line the bottom of a 6-inch baking pan with parchment paper. 2. Mix the graham cracker crumbs, caster sugar, brown sugar and melted butter until evenly combined. 3. Press firmly into an even layer in the prepared pan. Refrigerate while preparing the filling. CHEESECAKE FILLING • 450g cream cheese, softened • 70g caster sugar • 60g heavy cream • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 2 eggs 1. Preheat the oven to 162°C. 2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and caster sugar until soft and smooth. 3. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. 4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently until just combined after each addition. 5. Pour the batter through a sieve onto the chilled crust in 3–4 batches to remove any lumps. 6. Bake for approximately 1 hour. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover it with aluminium foil and continue baking. 7. Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open to cool gradually. 8. Once fully cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake in its pan for at least 4 hours. STRAWBERRY JAM • 250g fresh or frozen strawberries • 125g caster sugar 1. Combine the strawberries and caster sugar in a saucepan. 2. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. 3. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the strawberries soften and the mixture thickens. 4. Let the topping cool completely, then spread it over the chilled cheesecake.
