Equipment
- 8-inch springform pan
Ingredients
Crust
- 1¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¾ stick unsalted butter softened
Filling
- 10 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy cream cold
- Topping
- 1 10-ounce jar strawberry jam
Instructions
- Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add the sugar and butter and pulse again until the mixture begins to clump. Press firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan, pressing slightly up the sides.
- Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice until smooth. Lightly whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Spoon the filling over the crust and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight until set. When ready to serve, spread the strawberry jam evenly over the top.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
Do not overwhip the cream or the filling will lose its lightness.
Chill overnight for the cleanest slices.
Swap strawberry jam for raspberry or mixed berry for variation.
