Almonds pair nicely with strawberries, so I modified a straightforward graham cracker crust recipe to suit my needs. Makes for a little firmer, more flavorful crust.

This is a true strawberry cheesecake, as there is a cup of fresh strawberry puree in the cheesecake filling. The glaze has another cup and a quarter strawberry puree, and the whipped cream is enhanced with a quarter cup of fresh diced strawberries.

How To Make Strawberry Cheesecake

Almond Crust:

The oven is preheated to 350 degrees F. and a 9-inch springform pan is lined with parchment paper. Just the inside bottom needs parchment for easy liftoff from the springform pan.

Graham cracker crumbs, ground almonds, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter are added to a small mixing bowl. The mixture is stirred with a spoon, whisk, or your fingers until well combined.

Crumb mixture is dumped into the bottom of the springform pan, and spread evenly over the bottom of the parchment. The crumbs are pressed down into the bottom to make a firm crust. A flat surface, like the bottom of a flat measuring cup or drinking glass work very well.

Crust is baked in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges will be lightly browned.

Springform pan is removed from the oven and, placed on a wire rack to cool.

Once cool, the outside of the springform pan is wrapped in one or two layers of heavy duty aluminum foil.

Strawberry Cheesecake:

Softened cream cheese is added to a stand mixer bowl and beaten on medium speed with the paddle attachment for 4 minutes. The bowl and paddle should be scraped down.

Granulated sugar is added to the cream cheese and beaten on medium speed for 4 minutes. The bowl and paddle should be scraped down.

Fresh strawberry purée is added to the cream cheese mixture and beaten on low speed for about 1 minute to incorporate.

Heavy cream and vanilla bean paste are added to the cream cheese mixture and beaten on low speed for about 30 seconds to incorporate.

Eggs are added to the cheesecake batter, one at a time and beaten on low speed for 1 minute after each addition.

Cheesecake batter is transferred to the prepared almond crust and spread evenly across the bottom of the crust with an offset spatula.

The springform pan is placed in a large roasting pan, and enough hot water is added to the pan to come up the sides 1-inch.

The cheesecake is baked for 60 to 70 minutes. The oven is turned off and the cheesecake is left in to continue baking while the oven cools down. The springform pan is removed from the roasting pan and placed on a wire rack to cool to room temperature.

The springform pan is covered loosely with foil and refrigerated for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight.

When the glaze is prepared, the cheesecake should be removed from the refrigerator, the side of the pan carefully removed.

Strawberry Glaze:

1/4 cup fresh strawberry puree is added to a small mixing bowl. Powdered gelatin is sprinkled over the puree and stirred to combine.

1/2 cup fresh strawberry puree is added to a small saucepan and heated over medium heat until simmering, about 2 minutes.

The simmering puree is poured into the small mixing bowl with the gelatin mixture and stirred until combined and smooth. 1/2 cup remaining fresh strawberry puree is stirred in.

Slightly warm strawberry glaze is poured over the chilled cheesecake and spread to the outer edges with an offset spatula.

Glazed cheesecake is chilled for 4 hours, uncovered.

Strawberry Whipped Cream:

Heavy cream is added to a stand mixer bowl. Using the whip attachment, the cream is beaten on high speed to stiff peaks.

Powdered sugar is added to the whipped cream in the stand mixer and beaten on medium speed until incorporated, about 30 seconds.

The stand mixer bowl is removed from the stand mixer, and the diced fresh strawberries are folded in with a spatula. The strawberry whipped cream is chilled until ready to use.

Individual slices of strawberry cheesecake are served with strawberry whipped cream.
