Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cups cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup whipped cream (or Cool Whip)
- ½ cup crushed strawberry crunch cereal (like Crunch Berries)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Add the sliced strawberries and lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold in the whipped cream until no streaks remain.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and spread it evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Before serving, sprinkle crushed strawberry crunch cereal over the top for that delightful crunch.
