Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 3 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with melted butter until evenly coated. Press a small layer into the bottom of serving cups to create the base.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and lump-free.
  3. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This step gives the cheesecake its light, airy texture.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker base, smoothing the top lightly.
  6. Sprinkle diced strawberries evenly on top or fold half of them into the cream before layering.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set before serving chilled.
