Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  7. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
  9. In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder, red food coloring, and lemon juice to create a smooth paste.
  10. Fold this mixture into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed, creating a marbled effect.
  11. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  12. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the cheesecake.
  13. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  14. To serve, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice the cheesecake and enjoy!
