Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup melted butter
The Filling need:
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- Extra crushed graham crackers (for garnish)
- Whole strawberries (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.
- Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined.
- Layer the cheesecake: Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the crust. Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries on top.
- Add the strawberry drizzle: Warm the strawberry jam slightly, then drizzle it over the strawberry layer for extra sweetness.
- Repeat the layers: Spread the remaining cream mixture over the strawberries, then add another layer of sliced strawberries on top.
- Add the crunch: Sprinkle extra crushed graham crackers over the top and garnish with whole strawberries for a beautiful presentation.
- Chill & serve: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Slice and enjoy this sweet and creamy treat!
Notes
For extra crunch, mix in some crushed vanilla wafers or freeze-dried strawberries with the graham crackers. If you prefer a firmer cheesecake, let it chill overnight. This dessert pairs perfectly with a drizzle of white chocolate or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
