This Creamy Strawberry Cheesecake Dream is a luscious dessert with smooth cheesecake and fresh strawberries—an indulgent treat for any occasion! 🍓🍰

Ingredients:

For the cheesecake:

2 cups cream cheese, softened

1 cup heavy cream

¾ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the strawberry topping:

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/3 cup sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup sugar

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

For the crust: In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.

For the cheesecake: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.

Pour the cheesecake mixture into the cooled crust and smooth the top.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set the cheesecake.

For the topping: In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until the strawberries release their juice and the mixture thickens slightly.

Cool the strawberry mixture to room temperature before topping the cheesecake.

Once the cheesecake is set, top with the strawberry sauce and serve.
