To make this delicious Jam-Swirled Cheesecake, you will need the following ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup jam (your choice of flavor)
For the topping:
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
To begin, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well and press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust. Drop spoonfuls of jam onto the surface of the cheesecake and use a knife to swirl the jam into the filling.
Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Spread the mixture over the top of the cheesecake and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
Once the cheesecake has cooled to room temperature, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
The Jam-Swirled Cheesecake is a perfect combination of creamy and fruity flavors. The appearance of this dessert is stunning, with the swirls of jam adding a pop of color to the creamy cheesecake.
