  • Beat cream cheese in a large bowl until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  • Whip heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form, then add powdered sugar and whip to stiff peaks.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture carefully.
  • Pour cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • Combine strawberries and strawberry preserves in a bowl. Let them soak for 15 minutes.
  • Once set, top the cheesecake with strawberries, cut into squares, and serve chilled.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing. Watch cream when whipping to avoid graininess. Chill for full flavor and texture. Ripe strawberries enhance appeal. Perfect for making ahead of time.
