Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
5. Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
6. In a saucepan, combine diced strawberries, granulated sugar, water, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and the strawberries break down, stirring occasionally.
7. Remove the strawberry mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, pour it over the cream cheese layer in the springform pan.
8. Top the strawberry layer with the remaining cream cheese mixture, spreading it evenly.
9. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.
10. When ready to serve, remove the sides of the springform pan and transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate.
11. Garnish with additional fresh strawberries if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
