Deconstructed Strawberry Cheesecake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tablespoon butter, melted
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
fresh strawberries
freeze-dried strawberry, crushed
strawberry sorbet or ice cream

Preparation

Cohere the graham cracker crumbs and butter into a dampened sand.
In a bowl, cream together the cheese, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. In a larger bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the cheese mixture into the whipped cream until combined.
To plate, start with a portion of the cheesecake cream, smearing it with a spatula. Next, decorously arrange the fresh berries and dust with the graham cracker sand and crushed freeze-dried strawberries. For a temperature contrast, finish with a scoop or two of the sorbet or ice cream.
