Description
A no-bake, creamy cheesecake layered with fresh strawberries, buttery graham cracker crunch, and a luscious sweet strawberry drizzle.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with melted butter until fully combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create the crust. Set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream until well incorporated.
- Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust.
- Arrange a layer of sliced fresh strawberries over the cream mixture.
- Drizzle the strawberry jam over the strawberries for added sweetness.
- Repeat the process with the remaining cream mixture, spreading it evenly, followed by another layer of sliced strawberries.
- Sprinkle additional crushed graham crackers on top for crunch and garnish with whole strawberries.
- Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, or until firm and set.
Notes
- For the Perfect Crunch: To keep the strawberry crunch topping crispy, add it just before serving. Store any extra topping separately in an airtight container to maintain its texture.
- Boost the Strawberry Flavor: Enhance the strawberry taste by mixing a bit of strawberry extract or fresh strawberry puree into the cheesecake batter for an extra burst of fruity goodness.
