Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sleeve (9 crackers
- 140 grams) graham crackers
- 5 tablespoons (71 grams) unsalted butter
- melted
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (47 grams) freeze-dried strawberries
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese
- completely softened to room temperature
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 1/4 cups fresh strawberries
- hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup (180 grams) heavy cream
- chilled
Instructions
- In a food processor, blend the graham crackers until finely crushed. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture is combined and resembles wet sand.
- Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a lined 8×8 inch baking dish to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the cheesecake filling.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the lemon juice, fine sea salt, and freeze-dried strawberries, mixing until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Top with fresh strawberry slices and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Once set, cut into bars and serve chilled. Enjoy!
Notes
For best results, allow the cheesecake bars to set overnight for a firmer texture. Feel free to top with additional fresh strawberries or a drizzle of chocolate for extra flair.
