Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 9-inch pie crust (* See notes)
  • 4 cups cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/3 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs (whisked)
  • 4 cups strawberries (sliced and divided)
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 cup sugar

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 150C/300F. Prepare the pie crust and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sour cream and sugar and beat until smooth. Add the vanilla, before gently fold in the eggs until combined.
  • Transfer the mixture into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 60-70 minutes, until the edges are set and the middle is still slightly jiggly. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely.
  • In a food processor or blender, add 3 cups of the strawberries with xanthan gum and blend until smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan and add the sugar. Cook over medium heat for around 15 minutes, until thick. Remove from the heat and add the remaining chopped strawberries. Let the mixture cool for 40 minutes, stirring several times throughout.
  • Spread over the cheesecake and refrigerate to firm up.
