Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream

Method
 

  1. Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter; press into a 9-inch springform pan. Chill 10 minutes.
  2. In a saucepan, bring strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and lemon juice to a simmer. Stir in dissolved cornstarch and cook 2-3 minutes until thick. Cool completely.
  3. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Whip cream to stiff peaks, then fold into cream cheese mixture.
  4. Layer half the filling, half the sauce, then the rest. Swirl with a knife, cover, and refrigerate at least 6 hours.
  5. Unmold, slice, and serve cold.

Notes

The hands-on time does not include the 6 hours of chilling, which is when the cheesecake sets. Make it the night before for the cleanest slices.
