Equipment

  • 1 Mixer
  • 1 Cake pan

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • ⅔ cup ground graham crackers (150 grams or 5.3 oz)
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar (≈40 grams)
  • 3 tbsp melted butter (≈40 grams)
  • 4 tbsp lemon juice (60 milliliters)

Cream Cheese Fudge

  • 1 ½ cups cream cheese (≈330 grams)
  • 1 ½ cups melted white chocolate (≈330 grams oz 12 oz)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Topping

  • 5 tbsp strawberry jam (≈100 grams)

Instructions
 

Making the Crust

  • Combine ground graham crackers, lemon juice, butter, and sugar if needed into a grainy but shapeable paste. Take a cake dish covered with parchment paper and press it to the bottom.
  • Optionally, you can toss it in the oven heated to 340° F (≈170° C) for 10 minutes to harden. Also, if you don't feel like making the crust, just dust the ground crackers and pour the cream over.

Making the Cream Cheese Fudge

  • Blend cream cheese and melted white chocolate into a silky smooth cream. I also like to add some vanilla to accent the white chocolate rich flavor.
  • By adding chocolate directly to cream cheese, the fudge will be pretty firm and bite-size friendly. Also, you can add sugar to taste, for me, it is sweet enough like this.

Finishing Touch

  • Take a semi-liquid jam with strawberry chunks and pour a few teaspoons of it on top. Swirl it with a toothpick in the cream-choco layer and that's it. It looks like a tie-dye pattern which is marvelous on the table.
  • Leave it in the fridge for about an hour for a creamy texture, and in the freezer for an ice-cream-like refresh. One way or the other, it will be moist and melt in the mouth

Notes

Strawberry cheesecake fudge can last for about four days in the fridge. Cover it with plastic wrap or an airtight container so it stays fresh and luscious. Note not to keep it at room temperature because of the cheese.
