Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 cup whipped topping, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced), and 1 pre-made graham cracker crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese while continuing to beat. Mix until well combined and there are no lumps.
- Pour in the lemon juice and mix on low speed until the lemon juice is fully incorporated into the cream cheese mixture. The mixture should be light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped topping; you want to maintain the lightness of the mixture.
- Once the whipped topping is fully incorporated, taste the mixture. If you prefer a more pronounced lemon flavor, you can add a little more lemon juice to your liking.
- Transfer the cheesecake mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, smoothing the top as desired.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 1 hour to allow it to set. This step is important for achieving the right texture.
- Before serving, arrange the sliced fresh strawberries on top of the cheesecake for a beautiful presentation. You can also drizzle a little extra lemon juice over the strawberries for added flavor.
- Slice the cheesecake into 8 equal pieces and serve chilled. Enjoy your Strawberry Fluffy Lemon Cheesecake Delight!
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: For a smoother cheesecake mixture, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. This helps eliminate lumps and creates a creamy texture.
- Whipped Topping: When folding in the whipped topping, use a gentle hand to maintain its airy consistency. This is key to achieving that fluffy cheesecake texture!
- Lemon Juice: Adjust the amount of lemon juice based on your taste preference. If you love a more pronounced lemon flavor, feel free to add a bit more for an extra zing!
- Chill Time: Don’t skip the refrigeration step! Allowing the cheesecake to set for at least an hour will help it firm up and make slicing easier.
- Garnishing: For an eye-catching presentation, arrange the strawberries in a decorative pattern on top of the cheesecake. A drizzle of lemon juice or a sprinkle of powdered sugar can add an elegant touch.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair each slice with a dollop of extra whipped topping or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
