Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup melted butter Use unsalted for best flavor.
Filling
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened Ensure it's at room temperature for smooth blending.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whipped cream Store-bought or homemade.
Topping
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam For drizzling on top.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and then allow it to cool completely.
  2. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Gently fold in the whipped cream with a spatula until everything is well-blended but still fluffy.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over your cooled crust.
  5. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top, and finish with a drizzle of strawberry jam for added sweetness.
  6. Refrigerate the cheese cake for at least 4 hours, or even better, overnight. This sets the layers and enhances the flavors.
