Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream

- Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and smooth the top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes or until set.
- Serve chilled, topped with extra sliced strawberries or a drizzle of chocolate.
Notes
For a smoother filling, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for longer storage.
