- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 graham crackers, finely crumbled
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
Directions
Step 1 -In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar.
Step 2 -Let the strawberries sit while you prepare the rest of the dish, stirring them occasionally to help draw out the juices.
Step 3 -In a separate bowl, begin whipping the heavy whipping cream on high speed with a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Step 4 -When it becomes thick and fluffy, but is not yet forming peaks, add in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar.
Step 5 -Mix, starting at low speed until the powdered sugar is incorporated.
Step 6 -Switch the mixer to high speed and continue to whip until the whipped cream forms stiff peaks.
Step 7 -In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese and lemon juice.
Step 8 -Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the cream cheese and lemon juice together until soft and creamy.
Step 9 -Add the whipped cream to the bowl of whipped cream cheese and whip the two together until evenly combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 10 -Place the graham crackers in a zip-top bag, and use a heavy object to crush the crackers until they are in fine crumbs. In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar, stirring until combined.
Step 11 -Divide the graham cracker crumbs between two jars, glasses, or other small containers.
Step 12 -Add the cheesecake filling on top of the graham cracker crust.
