Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups crushed graham crackers

½ cup melted butter

2 cups whipped cream

1 cup cream cheese, softened

½ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

¼ cup strawberry jam

Extra crushed graham crackers, for topping

Whole strawberries, for garnish

Directions

I mix the crushed graham crackers with melted butter until evenly combined.

I press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.

In a large bowl, I beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

I gently fold in the whipped cream until the filling is light and well combined.

I spread half of the cream mixture over the graham cracker crust.

I arrange a layer of sliced strawberries over the cream layer.

I drizzle strawberry jam over the strawberries.

I spread the remaining cream mixture over the strawberry layer and smooth the top.

I garnish with extra crushed graham crackers and whole strawberries.

I chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until firm, before slicing and serving.

Variations

I sometimes use raspberries, blueberries, or mixed berries instead of only strawberries. I can also swap strawberry jam for raspberry jam or add a little lemon zest to the filling for a brighter flavor.

Storage/Reheating

I store this cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Since it is a no-bake chilled dessert, I do not reheat it. I serve it cold straight from the fridge.

FAQs

Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?

Yes, I like making it the night before so it has plenty of time to set.

Can I use frozen strawberries?

I prefer fresh strawberries, but thawed frozen strawberries can work if I drain them well.

Do I need a springform pan?

A springform pan makes slicing easier, but I can also use a deep pie dish.

Can I freeze this cheesecake?

Yes, I can freeze it for up to 1 month, but I add fresh garnishes after thawing.

How do I keep the crust firm?

I press the crust firmly into the pan and chill it well before serving.

Conclusion

This Berrylicious Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake is creamy, fruity, and easy to prepare. I love how the fresh strawberries, sweet jam, and crunchy graham cracker topping come together in a chilled dessert that feels bright, smooth, and perfect for sharing.
