Ingredients
Scale
1 ¾ cups of graham cracker crumbs
½ cup of unsalted butter (melted)
½ cup of granulated sugar
1 package (8 oz) of cream cheese (softened)
½ cup of sour cream
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of fresh strawberries (sliced)
1 cup of whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine 1 ¾ cups of graham cracker crumbs with ½ cup of melted unsalted butter and ¼ cup of granulated sugar. Use a fork to mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined 8×8 inch baking pan. Be sure to pack it down tightly for a sturdy crust. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 package of softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add in ½ cup of sour cream, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
Gently fold in 1 cup of sliced fresh strawberries into the cheesecake mixture. Ensure the berries are evenly distributed without breaking them down too much.
Spread the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust, smoothing it out with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the filling is set.
Once chilled, slice into bars and top with whipped cream and extra strawberries if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
