Notes
Use room-temperature ingredients for smoother mixing. Don’t skip the water bath to prevent cracks. Allow the cheesecake to cool slowly to avoid sinking. Make sure to taste the strawberries before adding them for sweetness. This cheesecake can be made a day in advance, and leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze individual slices wrapped in parchment and foil.
