Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Filling

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the base of your pan to form a solid, crunchy foundation that will support the cheesecake filling.
  2. Make the Creamy Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese in a separate bowl until smooth. Gradually fold in the whipped cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until you have a fluffy, velvety mixture that is light yet rich in flavor.
  3. Add Strawberries and Layer: Chop fresh strawberries and gently fold them into the filling or layer them evenly over the crust, depending on your presentation preference. This adds a fresh and vibrant element to your dessert.
  4. Assemble and Chill: Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the cheesecake set firmly and the flavors meld beautifully.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, garnish with extra strawberry slices or a sprinkle of crunchy crumbs to enhance both texture and visual appeal, creating a joyous and inviting dessert.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling.
  • Do not over-whip the cream; it should be light and airy, not grainy.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly to ensure it sets firmly.
  • Choose ripe, fresh strawberries for best flavor and texture.
  • Press the crust mixture firmly when forming the base to keep it stable and crunchy.
