Ingredients

Scale

Crust

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

Filling

  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks

Topping

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand. Press firmly into the base of a serving dish or individual jars to create an even, compact layer. Chill in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the creamy filling: Beat room-temperature cream cheese in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture to achieve a light and airy texture.
  3. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Layer sliced fresh strawberries on top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake to fully set and develop flavor.
  4. Add the strawberry topping: Before serving, combine diced fresh strawberries with sugar and lemon juice to macerate. Spread this glossy, vibrant topping over the set cheesecake to finish with juicy freshness.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Chill the crust well to prevent sogginess.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Allow enough chilling time for the cheesecake to set completely for clean slices.
  • Whip cream to soft peaks; overwhipping can make it grainy.
