Ingredients
Method
Preparation of Crust
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the graham crackers crumbs. Mix until a sandy texture forms.
- Carefully press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Filling Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the cold heavy cream and vanilla extract, whipping until well combined and light.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar and diced strawberries, mixing until evenly distributed.
Assembly and Chilling
- Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared springform pan over the crust, smoothing the top.
- Place the pan in the freezer to chill for about 4 hours, or ideally overnight to set perfectly.
Serving
- Before serving, let the cheesecake sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature. Then, slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
Letting the cream cheese reach room temperature prevents lumps. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can freeze individual slices for up to 2 months.
