Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups mixed nuts, crushed
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries, pureed
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the nut crust by combining crushed mixed nuts with melted butter in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until the nuts are evenly coated.

- Gradually add sugar to the cream cheese, continuing to mix until fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Stir in vanilla extract and mix until evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture.
- Fold in the strawberry puree, gently mixing to create a marbled effect and ensure even distribution of the fruit.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared nut crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
- Before serving, top the cheesecake with whipped cream, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or additional crushed nuts if desired.
- Slice and serve chilled, keeping the cheesecake refrigerated between servings.
