🍓 Creamy Strawberry Cheesecake Dream

(No-bake, with a brown butter twist!)

🛒 Ingredients

For the Crust:

½ cup brown butter (cooled slightly) (see note below)
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)

Pinch of salt

For the Cheesecake Filling:

16 oz (2 blocks) full-fat cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp lemon zest (or 1 tsp lemon juice)
1 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks

For the Strawberry Topping:

1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, sliced
2 tbsp strawberry jam (optional, for glaze)

Mint leaves (garnish, optional)

📝 Instructions

1. Brown Butter Crust

Brown the butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling until golden and nutty-smelling (about 5 mins). Let cool slightly.
Mix crust: Combine graham crumbs, sugar, salt, and brown butter. Press into a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Chill 15 mins.

2. Fluffy Cheesecake Filling

Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth.
Fold in whipped cream gently until no streaks remain.
Spread over crust and smooth the top. Chill 4+ hours (or overnight).

3. Strawberry Topping

Arrange sliced strawberries over the cheesecake.
For a glossy finish, warm strawberry jam with 1 tsp water, brush over berries.

✨ Pro Tips

Brown butter hack: Use ghee if short on time—it’s pre-toasted!

Extra fluff: Add ¼ cup mascarpone to the filling.
No-bake magic: Freeze for 2 hours if serving sooner.

Serve chilled with a sprinkle of edible glitter (for fairy cheesecake vibes ✨).
