Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened Ensure it's at room temperature for best results.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream Beaten to stiff peaks.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor.
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped Keep some aside for garnish if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the consistency resembles wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish firmly to create an even layer.
  2. In another bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and fluffy. Add in vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Gently mix in the chopped strawberries.
  6. Pour this mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Serving
  1. Run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake before removing the springform pan. Decorate with more fresh strawberries, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor, but frozen ones will work too if thawed and drained well. Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. You can substitute strawberries with blueberries or raspberries for a twist.
