Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.5 cups 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cups ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling
  • 2 cups 2 cups cream cheese, softened Make sure at room temperature to avoid lumps.
  • 1 cups 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cups 1 cup heavy cream Whip until stiff peaks form.
  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix well until all crumbs are coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking pan to form an even layer. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy and smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar while continuing to beat, ensuring it’s well incorporated.
  3. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Top with sliced strawberries, pressing them lightly into the filling if desired.
Chilling
  1. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Serving
  1. Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the cheesecake into bars. Drizzle with strawberry puree if using and enjoy!
