Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (Low-fat cream cheese for a lighter option)
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar (Substitute with sugar alternatives for fewer calories)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (Use pure vanilla for best results)
- 1 cup Fresh Strawberries (Substitute with your favorite berries)
- 1/2 cup Strawberry Jam (Homemade jam intensifies flavor)
- 1 1/2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs (Shortbread or digestive biscuits are alternatives)
- 1/2 cup Butter (Replace with coconut oil for dairy-free option)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of cream cheese, ½ cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is fluffy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Cover and chill for 15–20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a separate bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs with ½ cup of melted butter. Press into a greased baking dish, creating an even layer. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and cool completely.
- Spread the chilled cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, followed by a layer of strawberry jam and sliced fresh strawberries. Place another crust square on top and press down gently.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Remove from the refrigerator, cut into squares, and serve cold or warm in the microwave for 10 seconds.
