Ingredients

Strawberry topping

  • 5-6 cups quartered strawberries stems removed divided (840gr)
  • 1/2 cup sugar 100gr
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened 225gr
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar 65gr
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream 235ml

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, mix 2 cups of strawberries (approximately 280g), sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice over medium-low heat.
  • Stir the mixture frequently until the strawberries start to release their juices.
  • Using a potato masher, mash the strawberries until they mostly turn into liquid, leaving some small pieces for texture.
  • Raise the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
  • Once boiling, continue stirring for 1 minute, then remove from heat. Transfer to a heatproof container to cool quickly, and set aside while you prepare the cream cheese layer.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  • In a separate clean bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, creating a thick and fluffy consistency.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into your prepared graham cracker crust, then refrigerate while the strawberry mixture continues to cool.
  • Once the strawberry mixture has completely cooled, add any remaining strawberries and mix well.
  • Pour the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer, mounding the strawberries towards the center for an appealing presentation.
  • Return the dessert to the refrigerator and allow it to set for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before slicing and serving.
