Ingredients
Scale
2 cups Fresh Strawberries (washed and sliced)
8 ounces Cream Cheese (softened at room temperature)
14 ounces Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (can substitute with lime juice)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (pure preferred)
0.5 cup Granulated Sugar (adjust based on berry sweetness)
1 cup Graham Crackers (crushed, can use digestive biscuits)
6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted)
1 cup Easter Sprinkles (omit for a simpler look)
Instructions
Start by washing your fresh strawberries, then slice them into mid-sized pieces, and don’t forget to remove those stems.
Make sure your cream cheese is softened; microwave it for about 10–15 seconds if needed.
In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Incorporate the granulated sugar into the creamy mixture, adjusting sweetness as needed.
Combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until fully coated.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and press half of the graham cracker mixture into a greased baking dish.
Pour in the creamy cheesecake mix and top with the remaining graham cracker mixture and sliced strawberries.
Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top feels set and just golden.
Allow the cake to cool for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least an hour. Garnish with Easter sprinkles before serving.
Notes
Chill the cake overnight for better flavor melding. Use alternative berries if desired.
