For the Crust

  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Substitute with light brown sugar for depth.
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Strawberry Puree Strain for smooth texture.
  • 3 large Large Eggs Room temperature for better blending.
For the Ganache Topping
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Use dark chocolate for more intense flavor.

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until resembling wet sand. Press into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. Bake for about 10 minutes or until fragrant. Remove and let cool completely.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Gradually add fresh strawberry puree. Then add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed.
  6. Pour filling over cooled crust, spreading evenly. Place springform pan in a larger baking dish filled with hot water.
  7. Bake for about 75 minutes at 325°F (163°C) until edges are firm but center jiggles slightly.
  8. Turn off oven and crack the door open for about 1 hour to cool gradually. Then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  9. Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for a few minutes, then stir until glossy.
  10. Remove cheesecake from pan, drizzle ganache over top, and garnish with fresh strawberries.
