Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake Pie
- 1½ cups (195 grams) graham cracker crumbs
- 7 tablespoons (98 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- ⅔ cup (133 grams) plus 2 tablespoons (24 grams) granulated sugar, divided
- ½ teaspoon (1 gram) ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 (8-ounce) packages (450 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon (8 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs (100 grams)
- ¼ cup (60 grams) sour cream, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon (4 grams) vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup (213 grams) strawberry preserves
- ½ cup (85 grams) chopped fresh strawberries
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a 9-inch pie plate with baking spray with flour.
- In a medium bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, 2 tablespoons (24 grams) sugar, pepper, and salt. Using a measuring cup, press mixture into bottom and up sides of prepared plate.
- Bake for 5 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (170°C).
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese at medium speed until creamy, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add flour and remaining ⅔ cup (133 grams) sugar, beating until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until combined after each addition (do not overbeat). Reduce mixer speed to low. Add sour cream and vanilla, beating until smooth. Pour into prepared crust.
- In the container of a blender, place preserves and strawberries; blend until smooth. Drizzle 5 tablespoons (100 grams) strawberry mixture over filling. Using the tip of a knife, gently swirl over top of pie. Refrigerate remaining strawberry mixture.
- Bake until edges are set and slightly puffed, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours. Serve with remaining strawberry mixture.
