Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • Strawberry Filling:
  • 3 cups diced fresh strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Crust:
  • 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Cheesecake Filling:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • Dash of salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 12 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Instructions

  1. Make the Strawberry Filling: Combine half of the diced strawberries with lemon juice in a saucepan and cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Mix brown sugar and cornstarch together, then add to the saucepan. Cook until thickened, then stir in remaining strawberries and vanilla extract. Cool.
  2. Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl, then press into muffin tin liners. Chill.
  3. Make the Streusel Topping: Combine flour, sugar, and salt, then mix in melted butter until crumbly.
  4. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth, gradually adding sugar, flour, and vanilla. Stir in the beaten egg until just combined.
  5. Assemble the Cheesecakes: Fill chilled crusts with cheesecake batter, leaving space for strawberry filling. Spoon cooled strawberry filling on top and sprinkle with streusel topping.
  6. Bake: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until edges are set and tops are lightly golden. Cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least two hours before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and strawberries if desired.

Notes

For a lighter cheesecake, consider using Greek yogurt or ricotta cheese. Make sure to chill ingredients for a smooth filling.
