Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 cup (84 g) graham cracker crumbs, about 7 crushed sheets of graham crackers
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Crumble

  • ½ cup (62.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter melted

Cheesecake

  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup (167 g) superfine granulated sugar, or granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (57.5 g) sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (160 g) strawberry preserves

Glaze

  • 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of a 7-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Wrap two pieces of aluminum foil around the base of the springform pan. This is to prevent water from getting into the pan during the water bath step. Set aside.

Crust

  • To a medium mixing bowl, add graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter. Mix until combined. Make sure all of the graham cracker crumbs are coated in butter; the consistency should look like coarse sand.
  • Press the crust into the bottom of the lined springform pan.

Crumble

  • In a small bowl, mix together the flour, sugars, cornstarch, and cinnamon until combined. Stir in melted butter until a crumbly dough forms. Set aside.

Cheesecake

  • To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add cream cheese and sugar. Beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  • Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until well combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • With the mixer on low, add the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl after each addition.
  • Pour the filling onto the crust.
  • Top with spoonfuls of the strawberry preserves. Using a knife, swirl the preserves into the cheesecake batter, careful not to touch the crust.
  • Top the cheesecake with the crumble.
  • Place the springform pan into a deep roasting pan. Pour hot water into the roasting pan, about halfway up the side of the springform pan. (Using a teapot with hot water works very well, as it is easy to pour and the water is already hot.)
  • Bake for 85-90 minutes, or until the top of the cheesecake turns golden and the edges are set. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
  • Once cooled to room temperature, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
  • When ready to serve, mix glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and milk.
  • Drizzle glaze over cheesecake. Serve.
