Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups (crumbs) Graham Crackers
  • 6 tablespoons, melted Unsalted Butter
  • 24 oz, softened Cream Cheese
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 pint, sliced Fresh Strawberries

Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. For a more secure crust, chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the whipped cream.

Assemble and Chill

Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared graham cracker crust. Spread evenly. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.

Garnish and Serve

Before serving, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Arrange sliced fresh strawberries on top of the cheesecake. Slice and serve immediately. For an extra touch, drizzle with a strawberry sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar.
