Strawberry Cheesecake Dome (With Recipe!)
Made this for my sister for her birthday last month, stuff was delicious. It is a bit time consuming because it's a no bake recipe, however it is well worth it!
Recipe:
Crust Recipe:
2 cups graham crackers, crushed fine
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup melted unsalted butter
Filling Recipe:
40 oz (5 packages) softened cream cheese
1-1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
2/3 cup white granulated sugar
1/4 cup milk (Whole, 1%, or 2%)
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
7-9 whole strawberries
Outside Decoration:
2 pints of thinly sliced strawberries
Crust:
In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Add the 3/4 cup melted unsalted butter and mix until combined. Press and pack the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch (20cm) springform pan until it is flat and smooth. Refrigerate for at least two hours or until firm.
Filling:
In a large bowl, combine your cream cheese, 1-1/2 cups brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla extract, and milk and mix until smooth. I found it tastes better using pure vanilla extract as compared to imitation but it will still taste good either way!
Decoration:
Line an 8-inch glass bowl with plastic wrap, then start adding the sliced strawberries. Starting from the center, layer the sliced strawberries around the bowl and up the sides. I have found it a little easier to do this by patting the strawberries dry with a paper towel after slicing but your mileage may vary. Layer the strawberries leaving about 3/4 of an inch (~1.8cm) at the top of the bowl.
Finishing up:
Add about 2/3 of the mixture to the 8-inch glass bowl with the sliced strawberries. Add in whole strawberries and press into the filling then add the rest of the filling to your 8-inch glass bowl. Grab your set/chilled graham cracker crust and place on top of the cheesecake mixture. Carefully flip the two containers and so the the cheesecake is on top of the crust and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours for best result! After refrigerating, remove the 8 inch glass bowl and the plastic wrap should release from the strawberries, leaving you a beautiful and delicious strawberry cheesecake dome.
This really did taste amazing, and it was relatively easy to make. It might be better to chop up strawberries and incorporate those instead of using whole strawberries, but I'll leave that up to you. Give it a try, and let me know what you think!
