Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (360ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 3 cups (450g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until mixture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish. Chill in fridge for about 10 minutes.
  2. Make the cheesecake layer: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Combine: Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture with a spatula, folding slowly to keep airy texture.
  5. Layer the dessert: Spread half of the cheesecake mixture over chilled crust. Layer half of the sliced strawberries over cheesecake. Repeat with remaining cheesecake mixture and strawberries.
  6. Chill: Cover dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. Serve: Slice into squares with a sharp knife, wiping knife between cuts. Serve cold, optionally garnished with fresh strawberries or mint.

Notes

Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better volume. Stop whipping cream at stiff peaks to avoid turning it into butter. If cream cheese layer is too thick, whisk briefly or microwave for 10 seconds before folding in whipped cream. Chill assembled dessert at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Warm knife under hot water and dry before slicing for clean layers. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained well.
