Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Cheesecake Layer

  • 1 packet gelatin (about 2 1/4 tsp)
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 24 ounces cream cheese softened to room temp
  • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar sifted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen whipped topping thawed

Strawberry Topping

  • 16 ounces fresh strawberries
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • whipped cream for serving optional

Instructions

For the Graham Cracker Crust

  • Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
  • Stir together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a medium-sized bowl.
  • Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the springform pan, making a slight lip up the sides of the pan.
  • Place the crust in the freezer while you make the cream cheese layer.

For the Cheesecake Layer

  • Dissolve the gelatin in boiling water and let it sit while preparing the filling.
  • Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with a handheld mixer until it appears smooth and creamy. Mix in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, sour cream, and gelatin mixture.
  • With the mixer turned off, gently fold in the whipped topping.
  • Remove the crust from the freezer and add in the cheesecake mixture, smoothing the top with a flat-edge knife or spatula.
  • Allow the cheesecake to set in the fridge for at least 6 hours, or overnight. If pressed for time, set the cheesecake in the freezer instead.

For the Sugared Strawberries

  • First, hull the strawberries then cut them into quarters or eighths. Toss the strawberries with the sugar, and then place them in a container in the fridge.
  • To serve the cheesecake, take it out of the fridge and trace the edges of the springform pan with a thin sharp knife. Then unclamp the pan and cut it into pieces.
  • Top with whipped cream and sugared berries.
