Instructions
Making the Strawberry Fillo Crinkle Cheesecake is a straightforward process if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. Prepare Fillo Pastry: Lay one sheet of fillo pastry into the pan, brushing the top with melted butter. Repeat this process, layering several sheets and brushing each with butter (about 8-10 sheets).
3. Mix Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
4. Add Eggs: Add the vanilla and mix well. Add the eggs one by one, beating after each addition until combined.
5. Incorporate Sour Cream and Flour: Mix in the sour cream and flour until the mixture is evenly combined.
6. Add Strawberries: Gently fold in the sliced strawberries mixed with lemon juice.
7. Pour Mixture into Pan: Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the edges are slightly set, and the middle is still a bit wobbly.
9. Cool: Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 10 minutes. Then remove and cool at room temperature for 15-30 minutes before transferring it to the refrigerator.
10. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until completely chilled and set.
11. Dust and Serve: Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar for an attractive finish.
