Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

16 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

½ cup powdered sugar

1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed and strained (approximately 1 ½ cups whole strawberries)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a lined 8x8 inch baking pan to create an even crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until it is completely smooth and creamy, free of lumps. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, continuing to mix until fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.

      Combine with Strawberry Puree: Carefully fold the strained strawberry puree into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Gently mix until the filling takes on a uniform pink color, being cautious not to overmix in order to maintain the light, airy texture of the filling.

        Fill the Pan: Remove the crust from the refrigerator. Pour the strawberry cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.

          Chill & Serve: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set and firm to the touch. Once set, remove from the pan and cut into 9 generous bars. For added flair, garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a dollop of whipped cream on top before serving!
