Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of 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 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with ½ cup granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder and red food coloring to create a paste. Add this paste to the cream cheese mixture and fold until the color is evenly distributed.
  9. Pour the red velvet cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  11. Once set, top the cheesecake with sliced strawberries before serving.
  12. Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and slice the cheesecake into wedges.
