Cheesecake with strawberry sauce 🍓 Recipe in description ✨

For the Crust: ​Butter Cookies / Biscuits: ~150-200g ​Unsalted Butter: 70-80g ​Sugar: 2-3 tablespoons ​For the Creamy Filling: ​Cream Cheese: 500-600g (ensure it's at room temperature before starting) ​Sugar: 150g ​Eggs: 3 large eggs ​Sour Cream: 120g (about half a cup) ​Vanilla Extract: 1-2 teaspoons ​Lemon: 1 (for zest) ​Salt: A small pinch ​For the Strawberry Topping: ​Fresh Strawberries: ~500g to 1kg (depending on how high you want to pile them) ​Sugar: 50g (1/4 cup) ​Cornstarch: 1 teaspoon (to thicken the sauce) Preparation Steps Prepare the Base: Crush the cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and about 2 cm up the sides of your pan. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 10-15 minutes until golden. Make the Filling: Beat the room-temperature cream cheese until smooth and lump-free. Gradually mix in the sugar, sour cream, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt. Finally, lightly whisk the eggs and fold them in gently—avoid over-mixing to prevent air bubbles that cause cracks. Bake: Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 150°C (300°F) and bake for about another hour . The center should still have a slight jiggle. The Strawberry Sauce: Divide your strawberries into two groups. Take the less "perfect" ones and simmer them in a pan with a little water, sugar, and cornstarch . Once soft, mash them into a puree and cook until thickened . Assembly: Let the cheesecake cool completely. Pour the strawberry sauce over the top and arrange the fresh, beautiful strawberries on top of the sauce
