Ingredients
16 oz cream cheese
2 cups fresh strawberries
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup sugar
1 cup whipped cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
Directions
Begin by preparing the crust. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan and bake until golden.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, cornstarch, and salt until smooth. Fold in whipped cream to create a light and airy filling.
Spread a layer of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Arrange sliced strawberries on top, pressing them gently into the filling.
Prepare the crunchy topping by mixing graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture over the strawberries to add a delightful crunch.
Bake the cheesecake until set, then chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Once chilled, slice the cheesecake and serve with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh strawberries for a picture-perfect presentation.
