Ingredients

  • 2 cups Graham crackers crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • 2 cups strawberries diced
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream cold

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a food processor, put Graham crackers. Pulse it a few times, until you have fine crumbs.
  • Transfer 2 cups crumbs into a bowl and add ½ cup melted butter. Mix everything until well combined.
  • Transfer the mixture into a baking pan with parchment paper. Spread the mixture evenly, then press it with a measuring cup until firm. Refrigerate while working with the filling.
  • In a food processor or a blender, add 16 oz cream cheese, 2 cups diced strawberries, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks. Fold it into the cream cheese mixture in two steps. Don’t overmix!
  • Pour the filling on top of the refrigerated Graham crust and spread evenly.
  • Cover with the plastic wrap and put in the freezer for at least 5 hours or overnight.
  • When ready to serve, cut the cheesecake into 12 equal squares.

Notes

  • Cream Cheese. Make sure that your cream cheese is room temperature. That will help to make the filling smoother and easier to bind with other ingredients.
  • Crust. After you spread the Graham mixture on the bottom of the pan, I like to take a measuring cup or an empty glass and press it down. It will help to create a nice crust that will hold together and won’t crumble after it’s frozen.
  • Mixing. I like to use a food processor to blend the filling. You also can use a blender, Vitamix, or even an immersion blender.
