Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 g Graham crackers (crushed)
- 60 g Unsalted butter (melted)
- 250 g Cream cheese (softened)
- 60 g Powdered sugar
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 300 g Fresh strawberries (diced, plus extra for garnish)
- 30 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
Instructions
1. Prepare the graham cracker crust by combining the crushed graham crackers and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream until well combined. Set this cheesecake mixture aside.
4. In a small saucepan (or bowl if preferred uncooked), combine the diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to macerate. Optionally, cook this mixture over low heat for 2-3 minutes to create a syrupy consistency. Allow to cool if cooked.
5. Assemble the dessert in glasses: Start by layering 2-3 tablespoons of the graham cracker crust mixture at the bottom of each glass, pressing gently to compact it.
6. Next, add a layer of the cheesecake mixture, using about 2-3 tablespoons per glass and spreading it evenly.
7. Top the cheesecake layer with a generous spoonful of the strawberry mixture.
8. Repeat the layers (crust, cheesecake, and strawberries) until the glasses are filled, finishing with strawberries on top.
9. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices and optionally a sprig of mint. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
