Want to impress with a classic dessert? Let’s make a New York cheesecake with a strawberry coulis! Start by preparing a simple graham cracker crust and press it into your springform pan. For the cheesecake filling, mix cream cheese, sugar, and a touch of vanilla until smooth, then add eggs one at a time. Pour the filling over the crust and bake until set. While it cools, make the strawberry coulis by simmering fresh strawberries, sugar, and a bit of lemon juice until thickened. Blend until smooth and pour over your chilled cheesecake. Enjoy a slice of creamy, dreamy cheesecake with a burst of strawberry goodness
Icebox Strawberry Cheesecake
The decadent dessert you love, now a whole lot cooler.
Ingredients
- ½ 8 ounce package cream cheese
- ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 ½ cups heavy cream
- 4 individual packages graham crackers
- 2 pounds fresh strawberries sliced
Instructions
-
With an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract until it's a smooth mix. Add the heavy cream and continue beating on high speed until you get soft peaks.
-
Arrange one layer of graham crackers in a 9x13-inch pan. Try to cover as much of the bottom as you can. Spread 1/4 of the whipped cream mixture evenly over the crackers, then top that with the strawberry slices. Put down another layer of crackers, then another 1/4 of the cream and strawberries. Repeat this process with 2 more layers of cookies, cream, and strawberries, topping the whole thing off with one last layer of cream.
-
Smooth the top down and cover it with plastic wrap. Leave the cake in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
