• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, pureed

Instructions:

3. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
4. In a small saucepan, heat the strawberry puree and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
5. Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Drizzle half of the strawberry puree on top. Repeat the layers with the remaining cream cheese mixture and strawberry puree.
6. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the puree into the cream cheese mixture to create a marbled effect.
7. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.
8. Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberries and slice into decadent pieces of strawberry heaven.
