Tried-and-true vanilla cheesecake filling is swirled with a homemade strawberry sauce for a filling that\u2019s as eye-catching as it is delicious. Underneath the dense, creamy filling, a crispy graham cracker crust creates wonderful texture. Beautiful slices of the cheesecake are topped with a gentle pouring of the leftover strawberry sauce for an ultra-indulgent fruity dessert.<\/p>\n<h2>Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Graham cracker crumbs:<\/strong> The easiest way to break up graham crackers into crumbs is by pulsing them in a food processor. You could also close them up in a resealable bag and whack the graham crackers with a rolling pin until they are broken into fine crumbs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frozen strawberries:<\/strong> Be sure to thaw the strawberries to room temperature before starting this recipe, or you may overwork your food processor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sweetened condensed milk:<\/strong> Our recipe needs a liquefier, but we didn\u2019t want to sacrifice on creaminess and richness, so we opted for sweetened condensed milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream cheese:<\/strong> This strawberry swirl cheesecake recipe calls for three packages of cream cheese, so we recommend picking our preferred <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-cream-cheese-brands\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-cream-cheese-brands\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cream cheese brands<\/a> for the best results.

By using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/bake-with-room-temperature-eggs\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/bake-with-room-temperature-eggs\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">room-temperature eggs<\/a>, you\u2019re ensuring the batter whips up evenly and smoothly for a perfectly textured cheesecake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the crust<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1972074\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Swirl_FT24_13176_JR_0222_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Strawberry Cheesecake Swirl Ft24 13176 Jr 0222 1\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a bowl, whisk together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter.

In a bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese until it\u2019s light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk. Add the lemon juice, and beat well. Pour in the eggs, and beat on low just until blended.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Take the time to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl before adding the eggs to make sure everything is incorporated. Once the eggs are added, you\u2019ll want to do as minimal beating as possible to avoid adding too much air into the batter, which could cause your cheesecake to crack after baking.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Assemble the filling<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1972079\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Swirl_FT24_13176_JR_0222_6.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Strawberry Cheesecake Swirl Ft24 13176 Jr 0222 6\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the chilled graham cracker crust.

Drop the remaining strawberry sauce by 1\/2 teaspoonfuls on top. With a small knife, cut through the top layer only (dip your knife just halfway into the batter) to swirl the strawberry sauce.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 7: Bake<\/h3>\n<p>Bake the cheesecake until the center is almost set, 55 to 65 minutes. Cool the cheesecake at room temperature on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife or mini offset spatula around the edge of the springform pan to loosen it. Cool at room temp for one hour longer. Refrigerate overnight, covering when completely cooled.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Can\u2019t tell if the cheesecake is done?

Thin the reserved and chilled strawberry sauce with water if desired. Drizzle the sauce over the cheesecake slices. Store in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> If you\u2019d like to make clean, picture-perfect cuts when serving your cheesecake, run a chef\u2019s knife under hot water, and carefully wipe off the excess water, then make your first cut. Repeat these steps until you\u2019re finished cutting and serving.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1972082\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Swirl_FT24_13176_JR_0222_10.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Strawberry Cheesecake Swirl Ft24 13176 Jr 0222 10\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make a different crust:<\/strong> We absolutely love the graham cracker crust in this strawberry swirl cheesecake recipe, but there are tons of other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/crumb-crust-ingredients\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/crumb-crust-ingredients\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">crumb crust ingredients<\/a> to try out, like Nilla wafers, chocolate wafer cookies, nuts and shortbread.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a different berry:<\/strong> Feel free to swap in blueberries, blackberries or raspberries for the strawberries. You could also do a berry mix for a more dynamic cheesecake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Top with extras:<\/strong> After spooning on the reserved strawberry sauce, top the cheesecake with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/sweetened-whipped-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/sweetened-whipped-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">sweetened whipped cream<\/a> and fresh-cut strawberries. The extra garnish will take the presentation to a 10.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake<\/h2>\n<p>To store strawberry swirl cheesecake, wrap the springform pan loosely with storage wrap. If there\u2019s just a little bit of cheesecake left, cut it into slices, and store in an airtight container. Store it for up to five days in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h2>Can I freeze strawberry swirl cheesecake?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, you can freeze this cheesecake to eat later! Wrap the cheesecake with a few layers of storage wrap and a final layer of aluminum foil. Store it in the freezer for up to one month.<\/p>\n<p>To thaw the cheesecake from frozen, set it out at room temperature for one hour, or move the cheesecake to the refrigerator, and let it thaw for eight hours or overnight.<\/p>\n<h2>Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1972081\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Swirl_FT24_13176_JR_0222_9.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Strawberry Cheesecake Swirl Ft24 13176 Jr 0222 9\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Why did my cheesecake crack?<\/h3>\n<p>Humidity while baking will help prevent dreaded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cracked-cheesecake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cracked-cheesecake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cheesecake cracks<\/a>. Even if the recipe doesn\u2019t call for it, our Test Kitchen recommends using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cheesecake-water-bath\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cheesecake-water-bath\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cheesecake water bath<\/a>. Water baths help cheesecakes bake gently and evenly, plus the steam from the hot water creates a humid environment for baking. Also, when mixing your batter, make sure to add the eggs last. The longer you beat the eggs, the more air you incorporate into the batter. That air can expand and contract during baking and cooling, which can cause cracks.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I guarantee a smooth and creamy cheesecake?<\/h3>\n<p>For a smooth, creamy cheesecake, using room-temperature cream cheese and eggs is critical. Room-temperature ingredients blend up smoothly so you don\u2019t have a lumpy cheesecake. Also, use a good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-hand-mixer\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-hand-mixer\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">hand mixer<\/a> or stand mixer, and you\u2019ll be set for a smooth, creamy cheesecake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This strawberry swirl cheesecake is a true party pleaser.

Open the oven door and, with a wooden spoon, gently but firmly rap the side of the springform pan. You\u2019re looking for a slight wobble, not an undercooked rippled jiggle. This is one of our favorite cheesecake tips."},{"@type":"HowToStep","name":"Serve with the remaining strawberry sauce","text":"Remove the side of the springform pan. Thin the reserved and chilled strawberry sauce with water if desired. Drizzle the sauce over the cheesecake slices. Store in the refrigerator. Editor\u2019s Tip: If you\u2019d like to make clean, picture-perfect cuts when serving your cheesecake, run a chef\u2019s knife under hot water, and carefully wipe off the excess water, then make your first cut. Repeat these steps until you\u2019re finished cutting and serving.","image":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Swirl_FT24_13176_JR_0222_10.jpg?fit=700,1024"}],"recipeYield":"16 servings","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Val Goodrich"}],"nutrition":{"@type":"NutritionInformation","calories":" 324 calories","fatContent":"19g fat (10g saturated fat)","cholesterolContent":"86mg cholesterol","sodiumContent":"215mg sodium","carbohydrateContent":"35g carbohydrate (29g sugars","fiberContent":"1g fiber)","proteinContent":"6g protein."},"aggregateRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.9444447,"reviewCount":18,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5},"review":[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-10-15","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Tricia4819"},"reviewBody":"<p>This is my go-to recipe for a delicious cheesecake!
