Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Strawberry Layer

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Garnish

  • Fresh strawberry halves
  • Whipped cream
  • Crushed graham crackers
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberry Layer

In a small bowl, combine the diced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.

Stir gently and let the mixture rest for 10–15 minutes until the strawberries release their natural juices.

Step 2: Make the Crust

Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar until the texture resembles wet sand.

Divide the mixture evenly among six dessert glasses or jars and gently press it down with the back of a spoon.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.

Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, then continue mixing until creamy.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.

Step 4: Assemble the Dessert

Spoon a layer of cheesecake filling over the crust.

Add a generous layer of the strawberry mixture.

Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with cheesecake filling on top.

Step 5: Chill

Cover the cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the filling to set completely.

Step 6: Decorate

Before serving, top each cheesecake cup with whipped cream, fresh strawberry slices, a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs, and a small mint leaf for a beautiful finishing touch.

Pro Tips

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
  • Chill the mixing bowl before whipping the cream for faster, fluffier results.
  • Fresh, ripe strawberries provide the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Prepare the dessert a day ahead for an even richer taste.
