Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 sheets graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 10 tbsp salted butter, melted
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 1/4 cups cold heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 (3-oz.) box strawberry gelatin (such as Jell-O)
  • 6 tbsp boiling water
  • 1 1/2 cups finely chopped strawberries

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, process the graham crackers and brown sugar until finely ground.
  2. With the processor running, slowly pour in the melted butter and process until it resembles coarse sand.
  3. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray and press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom and up the sides. Freeze for 20 minutes.
  4. In a stand mixer, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until very stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  5. In the same bowl, mix the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth.
  6. Add the granulated sugar, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the cream cheese and mix until combined.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk the strawberry gelatin with boiling water until fully dissolved.
  8. Add the dissolved gelatin to the cream cheese mixture and mix until smooth. Fold in the chopped strawberries.
  9. Gently fold in the whipped cream in two batches until fully combined.
  10. Pour the filling into the chilled crust, smooth the top, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
  11. Once set, loosen the cheesecake from the pan, transfer to a serving platter, slice, and serve chilled.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
