Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling
  • 2 cups Fresh strawberries, washed and dried
  • 8 oz Full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cups Heavy whipping cream For the filling
  • 0.5 cups Powdered sugar For the filling
  • 3 oz Strawberry Jello mix
For the Topping
  • 1 cups Heavy whipping cream For the topping
  • 0.25 cups Powdered sugar For the topping

Method
 

Make the Crust
  1. Grind your graham crackers into fine crumbs using a blender or food processor. Combine the crumbs with melted butter and mix until evenly coated.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into a 9x9 inch pan and refrigerate to chill.
Prep the Strawberries
  1. Wash and pat the strawberries dry. Remove stems and dice enough strawberries for about a cup of small pieces. Slice the rest lengthwise and pat dry.
Whip the Cream for the Filling
  1. Chill a mixing bowl in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes. Beat heavy cream at medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Make the Cheesecake Base
  1. Beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream gently.
Split and Flavor the Filling
  1. Divide the cheesecake mixture into two portions. Mix strawberry Jello powder and diced strawberries into one portion.
Layer the Dessert
  1. Layer sliced strawberries over the crust, top with plain cheesecake filling, followed by the strawberry-flavored mixture, smoothing each layer.
Make the Whipped Topping
  1. Beat heavy cream until soft peaks form, add powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe this over the dessert.
Chill Until Set
  1. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, or until fully set.

Notes

This dessert can be garnished with extra strawberries or a drizzle of strawberry sauce. Store leftovers tightly covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freezing is not recommended.
