Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice, divided
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
  • Evenly distribute the crumb mixture into 6 small glass jars and press down firmly to form a base.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of the strawberries, the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.
  • Cook the strawberries for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit softens and the liquid thickens into a syrup; remove from heat and cool completely.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and remaining 1 teaspoon of lemon juice until smooth and aerated.
  • In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
  • Pipe or spoon the cheesecake filling into the jars over the graham cracker crust.
  • Top each jar with the cooled strawberry syrup and the remaining 1 cup of fresh diced strawberries.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set before serving.
