# Instructions:
01 -
Stir together the melted butter with cookie crumbs in a bowl until fully blended.

Spread the crumb mixture evenly into the base of a springform pan. Press down firmly to create an even layer. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.

In a small pan, mix the pureed strawberries and sugar, then heat on medium. Add the cornstarch mixture, stir, and let it thicken as it simmers for about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat to cool.

Use a large bowl to beat the cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well with each. Stir in melted chocolate, sour cream, and vanilla until completely blended.
05 -
Pour the filling into your chilled crust. Drop spoonfuls of the cooled strawberry topping on top, then swirl it around gently using a knife or skewer to create a pattern.
06 -
Set your oven to 325°F (163°C). Bake for about 45–50 minutes, or until the sides of the cheesecake are firm but the middle is still slightly wobbly. Once done, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside to cool for an hour.
