Ingredients

• 2 cups (crushed) Graham crackers
• 0.5 cup (melted) Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 16 ounces (softened) Cream cheese
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup (cold) Heavy whipping cream
• 1 pound (hulled and diced) Fresh strawberries
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 cup Water
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for topping glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Mix well until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 2

Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a parchment-lined 9x9-inch baking dish. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the cheesecake filling.

Step 3

Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula and return to the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 6

Prepare the strawberry topping: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced strawberries, cornstarch, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and water. Stir frequently until the mixture thickens and resembles a glaze. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

Step 7

Once the cheesecake has set, spread the cooled strawberry topping evenly over the cheesecake layer. Refrigerate for an additional 1 hour to allow the topping to set.

Step 8

Slice into bars and serve chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
