To Make The Cheesecake
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, salt, and flour, and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth
24 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup white granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 ½ tablespoons all purpose flour, 4 eggs, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, ½ cup sour cream
Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Fill halfway, then place a third of the strawberry crunch topping. Fill the rest of the way and top with another third of the topping.
Bake for 55 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but set around the edges. Turn off the oven and open the oven door, letting the cheesecake continue to bake and cool inside for another 60 minutes.
Remove from the oven, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Spread Cool Whip evenly over the chilled cheesecake. Sprinkle with the last of the strawberry crunch topping and decorate with fresh strawberries.
Cool Whip, Strawberries
Slice and serve chilled.
- Make sure you are working with room temperature ingredients when you make the cheesecake filling. It will mix much more smoothly.
- Letting the cheesecake cool slowly in the open oven will help it cook to doneness without overcooking it and also gently lowers the temperature so it doesn't crack.
- For a chocolate strawberry crunch cheesecake, substitute regular Oreos. It is a super yummy variation!
