Ingredients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup powdered sugar

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup sugar (for whipping cream)

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup strawberry pie filling (optional for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to create a firm crust.

Make the Cheesecake Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.

Layer the Ingredients: Spread half of the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust. Evenly distribute half of the sliced strawberries over this layer. Repeat the layering process with the remaining cheesecake mixture and topped with the remaining strawberries.

Add a Touch of Flair: If desired, spoon dollops of strawberry pie filling on top of the strawberries for added sweetness and a visually appealing finish.

Chill the Dessert: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the layers to set and flavors to meld.

Serve: Once chilled, slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your delightful Strawberry Cheesecake Lush!
