Make the perfect Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake with a buttery cookie crust, creamy filling, and crunchy strawberry topping. A delightful treat for any occasion!
reheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Blend 30 graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor. Mix the crumbs with 6 to 8 tablespoons melted butter and 2 tablespoons sugar, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.
In a large bowl, beat 24 ounces softened cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and 1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until fluffy. Add 4 large eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition. Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust.
Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Turn off the oven and leave the door slightly ajar to let the cheesecake cool for about 1 hour.
While the cheesecake cools, prepare the strawberry crunch topping by mixing crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter.
Once the cheesecake has cooled, sprinkle the strawberry crunch topping over the top. Let the cheesecake chill and set before serving. Enjoy!
