A delicious and indulgent cheesecake featuring a crunchy graham cracker crust, creamy filling, and topped with fresh strawberries and strawberry jam.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • ½ cup strawberry jam
  • 1 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with ½ cup of granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
  8. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
  9. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the strawberry jam until it becomes pourable.
  10. Drizzle the warm jam over the cheesecake layer, then use a knife to swirl it gently for a marbled effect.
  11. Top with sliced strawberries and crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
  12. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  13. Before serving, remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a chocolate twist, substitute half of the graham cracker crumbs with crushed chocolate cookies.
  • For a berry medley, mix in blueberries or raspberries with the strawberries for added flavor and color.
