Ingredients
Scale
- 200 grams graham cracker crumbs (about 2 cups)
- 100 grams unsalted butter, melted (about 1/2 cup)
- 500 grams cream cheese, softened (about 18 oz)
- 150 grams granulated sugar (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 ml heavy cream (about 1 cup)
- 2 tablespoons gelatin powder
- 60 ml water (about 1/4 cup)
- 300 grams fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 2 cups)
- 200 grams strawberry jelly (about 1 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl and mix well. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and mix until well combined. Add vanilla extract.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over water and let sit for 5 minutes. Heat until dissolved, then let cool slightly before adding to the cream cheese mixture.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in the dissolved gelatin. Pour over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set. Heat strawberry jelly until pourable, cool slightly, then pour over the cheesecake. Chill for an additional 1-2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid cracks.
- Allow sufficient chilling time for the cheesecake to set properly.
- Use the recommended amount of gelatin for the best texture.
