Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).

  4. In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Pour in the strawberry puree and mix until well combined.
Baking
  1. Pour the cheesecake batter over the pre-baked crust.
  2. Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  3. Let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating. Chill for at least four hours or overnight.
Serving
  1. Before serving, top with whipped cream and sprinkle the strawberry crumble topping.

Notes

For a twist, you can replace some cream cheese with mascarpone for extra creaminess. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze slices for up to 3 months.
