Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup butter melted

For the Filling:

  • 2 - 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream

For the Topping:

  • 1 pound strawberries hulled and diced
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ cup sliced strawberries
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • ½ cup raspberries

Instructions

For the Crust:

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Add melted butter and mix well.
  • Press mixture into a 9-inch springform pan, completely covering the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides.

For the Filling:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice.
  • Gradually add cream and continue beating until peaks form.
  • Pour mixture on top of crust.

For the Topping:

  • To prepare topping, put strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a saucepan.
  • Over medium heat, stir and bring to a boil.  Depending on how juicy your strawberries are, you may have to add 1-2 tablespoon of water.
  • Reduce heat and allow mixture to cook until it has thickened.  This will take 6-8 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Continue topping cheesecake with strawberry slices, blueberries, and raspberries.
  • Slide a knife around the edge of your pan and gently remove the rim.
  • Slice into pieces and drizzle cooled topping over top individual pieces of cheesecake.

Notes

  • To avoid a lumpy cheesecake, allow your cream cheese to come to room temperature before using. 
  • For best results, let your cheesecake sit in the fridge overnight to set. 
  • Have fun with your toppings! Add whipped cream, fruit sauce, chocolate chips, and salted caramel.
