1
Prepare the crust
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
2
Form the crust
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Use the back of a measuring cup to compact it.
3
Bake the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

4
Prepare the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
5
Add powdered sugar and vanilla
Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and smooth.
6
Whip the cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
7
Combine
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and fluffy.
8
Fill the crust
Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

9
Prepare the topping
Once the filling has set, arrange the sliced fresh strawberries on top of the cheesecake.
10
Glaze
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the strawberry jam until melted and pourable. Allow to cool slightly before drizzling over the strawberries.
