For the Base:
2 cups crushed graham crackers
½ cup melted butter
For the Filling:
2 cups whipped cream
1 cup cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Topping:
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
¼ cup strawberry jam
Prepare the Base:
In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan, using a spoon to pack it tightly.
Chill the base in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
Make the Filling:
Beat softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.
Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whip the whipped cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Spread the filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker base.
Prepare the Topping:
Heat strawberry jam in a small saucepan over low heat for 2-3 minutes until runny. Allow it to cool slightly.
Arrange sliced strawberries on top of the cheesecake filling.
Drizzle the cooled strawberry jam over the strawberries for a glossy finish.
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the cheesecake for 3-4 hours or overnight to let it firm up.
Slice and enjoy the refreshing burst of strawberry flavor in every bite.
Berry Mix: Add a mix of blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries to the topping or blend them into the filling for a berry-flavored twist.
Crust Alternatives: Use crushed digestive biscuits, gingersnap cookies, or even chocolate cookies for a unique twist on the crust.
Vegan Version: Substitute with dairy-free cream cheese, coconut whipped cream, and vegan-friendly strawberry jam.
