Ingredients

  • Graham Cracker Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • Cheesecake:
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup seedless strawberry jam
  • sliced fresh strawberries for topping

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9x13 baking dish with foil or spray with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and brown sugar. Press firmly onto the bottom of the baking dish.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, ½ cup sugar, and vanilla until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined. Pour cream cheese mixture over graham cracker crust.
Place jam in a small resealable bag and snip off the corner with scissors. Pipe lines of jam lengthwise. Take a knife and make lines going the opposite direction, pulling the jam down in vertical lines.
Bake 50-60 minutes or until center is set. Let cheesecake cool on a wire rack and then transfer to the fridge to chill for at least 6 hours.
Cut chilled cheesecake into squares and top with sliced strawberries.
