For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust:
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish to create an even crust. Set aside.
-
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
-
Add the Strawberries:
- Gently fold the chopped fresh strawberries into the cheesecake filling until evenly distributed.
-
Assemble the Dessert:
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust and spread it evenly.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until firm.
-
Serve:
- Once frozen, remove the bars from the dish and cut them into 12 squares.
- Top with additional whipped cream and fresh strawberries, if desired.
- Enjoy them straight from the freezer for a frozen treat, or let them sit for a few minutes for a softer texture.
