Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.33 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Filling
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Topping
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 0.25 cup strawberry jam warmed slightly for glaze

Method
 

Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
  4. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
  5. Before serving, arrange sliced strawberries on top of the cheesecake. Brush with warmed strawberry jam for a glossy finish.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and chill the cheesecake thoroughly. This dessert can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store covered in the refrigerator.
