Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
Filling
  • 2 cups whipped cream
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced Alternatively, frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained.
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Pour the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch or 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to press the crust firmly and evenly onto the bottom and slightly up the sides. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
Filling
  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue to beat until fully combined and fluffy.
  2. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
  3. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Topping and Chilling
  1. In a small bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the strawberry jam. Stir gently to coat. Spoon the mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer.
  2. Sprinkle extra crushed graham crackers or reserved strawberry crunch pieces over the top for added texture, if desired.
  3. Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. For best results, let it chill overnight.
Serving
  1. Run a knife around the edge of the pan before releasing the springform. Slice, serve, and enjoy every luscious bite!
