Welcome to the amazing Marry Me Cheesecake with Semi-Candied Strawberry Sauce. This dessert is more than just a sweet treat; it’s a declaration of love, made with care and meant to delight your senses. Each layer and ingredient plays a special role in creating a harmonious blend of flavors that celebrate love and commitment.
Let’s start with the foundation, which represents the strength and support in a lasting relationship. Imagine a crumbly base made from crushed digestive biscuits, mixed with melted butter and a touch of sugar. This golden crust perfectly complements the creamy filling.
On top of the crust, you’ll find a velvety layer of cheesecake filling that steals the show. It’s a rich combination of cream cheese and crème fraîche, whisked to perfection for a silky smooth texture. Sugar adds a touch of sweetness that speaks to the joy of being in love. Eggs and vanilla extract add their own special touch to the filling.
As the cheesecake bakes, it’s gently surrounded by a water bath, ensuring even cooking and a delicate texture. Once it’s done, the cheesecake is left to cool gradually, just like the deepening of flavors in a relationship over time.
And what’s a proposal without a special touch? Enter the semi-candied strawberries, fresh and juicy, coated in a thick, shimmering sauce made from frozen strawberries. This topping represents the happiness and brightness that love brings to our lives.
When the strawberries are placed on top of the cheesecake, they create a visual and sensory delight that is like a proposal on a plate. Each bite is an invitation to indulge, savor, and celebrate the love that inspired this creation.
The Marry Me Cheesecake goes beyond a regular dessert. It’s a culinary journey through the most sincere expressions of love. With every bite, you’ll taste the promise, joy, and sweetness that true love holds. Enjoy!

Marry Me Strawberry Cheesecake
Description
Ingredients
For the Crust
For the Cheesecake Filling
For the Semi-Candied Strawberries & Strawberry Sauce
Instructions
For the Crust
-
Preheat your oven to 392°F (200°C).
-
In a bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits with melted butter and sugar until the mixture is well-combined and resembles wet sand.
-
Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 22 cm (approximately 9 inches) cheesecake springform pan to create an even layer.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes until set and lightly golden. Remove and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
For the Cheesecake Filling
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cream cheese and sour cream or creme fraiche until smooth.
-
Gradually add the sugar, continuing to whisk until well incorporated.
-
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring the mixture is homogenous and lump-free.
-
Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
-
To create a water bath, place a large tray filled with boiling water on the lower rack of the oven.
-
Bake the cheesecake at 320°F (160°C) for 45-50 minutes. The center should still jiggle slightly when gently shaken.
-
Turn off the oven and leave the door ajar, letting the cheesecake cool for 10-20 minutes. Then remove it to cool completely at room temperature.
-
Chill in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 5-6 hours if you're serving it the same day.
For the Semi-Candied Strawberries & Strawberry Sauce
-
In a saucepan, combine the frozen strawberries with the cornstarch, water, and sugar
-
Cook over medium-high heat until the strawberries begin to break down. Once simmering, reduce the heat and mash the strawberries or blend them to create a smooth sauce.
-
Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken on low heat for about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. You can store the sauce in the refrigerator overnight before using it on the cheesecake.
-
When ready to serve, slice the tops off the fresh strawberries and gently fold them into the cooled sauce.
-
Arrange the semi-candied strawberries on top of the chilled cheesecake in a decorative pattern.

Note
For the smoothest cheesecake texture, ensure all filling ingredients are at room temperature before beginning.
Don't skip the water bath as it helps to cook the cheesecake gently, which reduces the risk of cracks.
If the cheesecake browns too quickly on top, you can tent it with aluminum foil during the last part of baking.
