Ingredients
1 ½ cups Graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons Melted butter
16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
1 cup Powdered sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 cup Heavy cream, cold
2 cups Frozen strawberries, thawed
¼ cup Granulated sugar
1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Instructions
- Make the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into a 9×9-inch pan lined with parchment. Freeze to set
- Prepare strawberry swirl: Blend thawed strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a food processor until smooth. Set aside
- Make cheesecake filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; mix well. In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture
- Assemble: Spread filling evenly over crust. Drop spoonfuls of strawberry puree on top and swirl with a knife
- Freeze: Cover and freeze at least 6 hours or overnight. Lift out using parchment, slice, and serve from freezer
Notes
Use fully softened cream cheese to prevent lumps.
Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks for a light, airy texture.
Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling; use the bottom of a glass for even pressure.
Freeze completely before slicing; use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts.
Store in airtight container in freezer for up to one month. Let sit at room temperature 5 minutes before serving for softer texture.
