Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Create the crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- Blend the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until fully combined.
- Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form to lighten the cheesecake filling.
- Mix the filling: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the mixture over the crust in the springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Top with strawberries: Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the filling and drizzle with strawberry sauce if using.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove from the pan, slice, and serve chilled.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is well-softened for best texture. For stronger strawberry flavor, fold in some strawberry puree into the cheesecake mixture.
