Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 2 cups Fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar (for strawberry layer)
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream, cold

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar for the crust. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 2

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries and granulated sugar (for the strawberry layer). Cook over medium heat until the strawberries release their juices and begin to break down, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Add this slurry to the strawberry mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until thickened.

Step 5

Remove the strawberry mixture from heat and let it cool to room temperature before spreading it evenly at the bottom of the chilled crust.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the strawberry layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or whipped cream before serving.
