Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs Alternatively, digestive biscuits can be used.
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Melted.
For the cheesecake filling
  • 2 cups cream cheese Softened.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy cream Whipped.
For the strawberry topping
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries Hulled and chopped.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar For topping.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Mix the graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a bowl. Stir in the melted butter until fully combined. Press this mixture into a lined baking dish to create a base for your cheesecake. Refrigerate it while you make the filling.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until it’s fully integrated.
  3. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust. Place it back in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the strawberry topping.
  4. In a saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the mixture becomes syrupy, then allow it to cool slightly before spreading over the cheesecake layer.
  5. Refrigerate the assembled bars for at least four hours or overnight to let everything set perfectly.

Notes

Chill the cheesecake for a minimum of four hours. Use parchment paper with an overhang for easy lifting. Ensure to make enough for the crowd; this recipe can easily be doubled.
