Description
This easy Strawberry Marble No Fuss Cheesecake Slice features vibrant strawberry swirls against a creamy backdrop on a graham cracker crust. It’s a perfect make-ahead dessert for family and friends, suitable for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups crushed graham crackers
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
- 2 (8 oz) blocks full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for swirl)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
- Prepare Crust: In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, 0.5 cup melted butter, and 0.25 cup sugar. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Make Strawberry Swirl: In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, 2 tbsp sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, mashing berries, until thickened. Let cool slightly, then strain for a smoother sauce if desired.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth and creamy (about 3-4 minutes). Beat in eggs one at a time until just combined, then vanilla and sour cream, mixing gently until smooth.
- Assemble and Swirl: Pour cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust. Dollop spoonfuls of strawberry sauce over the top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the strawberry into the cheesecake for a marbled effect.
- Bake Cheesecake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. (Avoid overbaking; if the center looks very liquid, bake for another 5 minutes).
- Cool and Chill: Cool completely on a wire rack at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for best firm texture and easy slicing.
Notes
If crust mixture is too dry, add 1 tbsp more melted butter. A pinch of salt or fresh lemon zest can enhance filling flavor. To prevent cracks, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, avoid overmixing, do not overbake, and limit opening the oven door. Store chilled.
