Recipe Yield: 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
½ cup heavy cream (cold)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream
1 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced and patted dry
2 tbsp strawberry jam (smooth)
¼ cup graham cracker crumbs (plus extra for topping)
Pinch salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Whip the base:
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until completely smooth and creamy. Then add vanilla extract and salt, mixing until fully combined and lump-free.

2. Add richness:
Next, mix in sour cream and strawberry jam until the mixture becomes silky, smooth, and lightly pink.

3. Whip the cream:
In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream until soft peaks form (not stiff). This ensures a light, fluffy dip. Then gently fold it into the cheesecake mixture until fully incorporated.

4. Fold strawberries:
Carefully fold in diced strawberries (patted dry) and graham cracker crumbs. Mix gently to keep the dip airy and prevent excess moisture.

5. Chill and serve:
Transfer to a serving bowl and chill for 20–30 minutes to set. Before serving, top with extra graham crumbs and fresh strawberries.

Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

• Use fully softened cream cheese: This ensures a smooth, lump-free dip. Otherwise, the texture may turn grainy instead of velvety.
• Fold gently for airy texture: After whipping the cream, fold slowly to keep the dip light and fluffy rather than dense.
• Balance sweetness carefully: Since strawberries vary in sweetness, adjust powdered sugar slightly for the perfect flavor balance.
