Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
For the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
For the cheesecake: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla, then eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Add sour cream and heavy cream. Pour over the cooled crust.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Let cool in the oven for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
For the chocolate-covered strawberries: Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Dip strawberries into the melted chocolate, coating halfway. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until set.
Once the cheesecake has chilled, top with chocolate-covered strawberries before serving.

Notes

Fruit Variations: Swap strawberries for raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries.

Crust Alternatives: Try using crushed Oreos or chocolate cookies instead of graham crackers.

Chocolate Variations: Experiment with white chocolate or milk chocolate for the strawberries.
