Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Topping

  • 1 can (21 ounces) strawberry pie filling
  • ¼ cup additional graham cracker crumbs (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Combine the crumbs with melted butter until fully moistened, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a parchment-lined 8×8 or 9×9-inch pan. Chill the crust while preparing the filling to help it set.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk while continuing to beat until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
  3. Add Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice thoroughly, ensuring the mixture is lump-free and smooth for a balanced flavor profile.
  4. Assemble the First Layer: Pour half of the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Add spoonfuls of strawberry pie filling on top and gently swirl the filling into the cheesecake layer with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  5. Add the Top Layer: Spread the remaining cheesecake mixture over the swirled layer and smooth the surface carefully for an even finish.
  6. Add Final Toppings: Spoon additional strawberry pie filling on top and sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs for texture and decorative appeal.
  7. Chill to Set: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight, allowing the cheesecake to fully set and develop flavors.
  8. Serve: Once set, slice into squares and serve the cheesecake chilled for the best taste and texture experience.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to ensure a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal of cheesecake slices from the pan.
  • Swirling the strawberry pie filling gives a pretty marbled effect but avoid over mixing so the layers remain distinct.
  • For an extra tangy flavor, you can add a little zest of lemon along with the juice.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled if you want to make a larger batch or use a bigger pan.
