Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (9 full crackers
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Dash of salt

For the Cheesecake

  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Dash of salt
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ cup sour cream

For the Topping

  • 4 cups sliced strawberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries for topping (optional)
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions

For the Crust

  • Prepare a 7-inch springform pan by spraying it with cooking spray.
  • To prepare crust, mix graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl.  Press mixture into your prepared springform pan.

For the Cheesecake

  • Add cream cheese, sugar, and flour in a large mixing bowl.  Beat until smooth.
  • Add vanilla, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt.  Beat again.
  • Add eggs and beat again.
  • Add sour cream and beat again.
  • Pour mixture over top of crust.
  • Air fry at 300ºF for 60 minutes or until center is set but slightly jiggly.
  • Remove springform pan from air fryer and allow to cool for 1 hour.
  • Refrigerate cheesecake for an additional 6 hours prior to removing from pan and serving.

For the Topping

  • Prepare topping by combining strawberries, sugar, and vanilla in a small saucepan.  Heat to a boil over medium heat, stirring often and smashing the strawberries.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce thickens.
  • Allow strawberry topping to cool.
  • Spoon onto cheesecake.
  • Sprinkle on blueberries.
  • Top with whipped cream.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Set your cream cheese out for at least an hour before starting your making your cheesecake - you want it to be at room temperature. 
  • For a cleaner slice, place a sheet of parchment paper at the bottom of the springform pan. 
  • I like to use fresh strawberries for the sauce but you can use frozen, if needed.
