Ingredients

The Crust

• 1 2/3 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
• 6 Tbsp Unsalted Melted Butter

• 6oz Room Temp Cream Cheese
• 1 1/4 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
• 1/3 Cup + 1 Tbsp
• 1 Tsp Vanilla

Strawberry Sauce

• 1 Cup Sliced Strawberries
• 1 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
• 1 1/2 Tsp Freshly Squeezed Oranje Juice

Instructions

1. Prepare 9' Tart pan with non stick spray.
2. In a bowl combine the cookie crumbs and sugar give it a good mix. Add melted butter and combine. The mixture will be a little wet and crumbly. Spread evenly around tart pan and press it down and to the sides until its firm and smooth.
3. Place the tart pan on top of a cookie sheet or large plate to hold in place and refrigerate while you make your filling.
4. In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment place the cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla and beat on low speed until it begins to mix. Once the mixture begins to thicken bring speed up to Med-High and continue to whisk until it is fluffy. Do not over mix.
5. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly around the crust.
6. Allow cheesecake to set for 1-2 hours.
7. Once the cheecake is set on a separate bowl add your sliced strawberries, sugar and orange juice and mix gently until the sugar is dissolved just about 1-2 minutes.
8. Add on top of the cheesecake to your liking and enjoy!

TIPS

1. The cream cheese should only be allowed to room temp for about 30-45 mins depending on the temp of your home. It should be soft but still have a cool temperature. It is important to allow to soften if not it will not mix well and you will have an unpleasant lumpy mixture.
2. It takes about 1-2 minutes for the mixture to get to its desired consistency. If you over beat it can get a buttery like texture. It needs to be smooth and have medium peaks where its fluffy but you’re able to pipe with the mixture.
3. When storing this cheesecake cover it well so the strawberries maintain better.
