Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar.

Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave until fully liquid.
Step 3
Pour the melted butter into the graham cracker crumb mixture and stir until evenly combined.
Step 4
Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch square pan to form an even crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Add heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, forming soft peaks.

Spread the cream mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. Refrigerate the pan again while preparing the next layer.
Step 8
Wash and slice the fresh strawberries thinly.
Step 9
Arrange the strawberry slices carefully over the cream cheese filling, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 10
In a small bowl, stir together the strawberry jelly and warm water until smooth and slightly thinned.
Step 11
Drizzle the jelly mixture over the strawberry layer to create a glossy finish.
Step 12
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to let the layers firm up.
