Ingredients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced and whole

1/2 cup strawberry glaze or jam

1 cup whipped cream (for decorating)

Instructions

1. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter until evenly coated. Press into the bottom of a springform pan and chill.

2. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

3. Beat cream cheese until smooth, then mix in sugar and vanilla until fully combined.

4. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated.

5. Line the inside of the crust with halved strawberries. Pour the cheesecake filling in and smooth the top. Chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.

6. Once set, spoon strawberry glaze over the top, allowing drips. Pipe whipped cream swirls and add fresh whole strawberries to garnish.

Notes

For best slicing results, dip your knife in hot water and wipe clean between cuts.

Chill overnight for the most stable texture and easiest decorating.

Use full-fat cream cheese and real heavy cream for maximum richness.
