Crust Preparation

Strawberry Swirl Preparation
  1. In a saucepan, combine pureed fresh strawberries, additional sugar, and lemon juice. Cook on medium heat for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Cool to room temperature.
Cheesecake Filling Preparation
  1. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, mixing well. Add eggs one at a time, blending after each addition. Mix in sour cream and heavy cream until velvety.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Pour cheesecake filling into the cooled crust, smoothing with a spatula. Gently swirl in the cooled strawberry mixture. Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges set but center jiggles slightly. Cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
