Crust
- 1 ½ cups (126 g) graham cracker crumbs, about 10-12 crushed graham cracker sheets
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
Filling
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ⅓ cup (67 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups (332 g) freshly diced strawberries
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, including up the sides.
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar. Mix until it resembles wet sand. Press into the lined baking dish.
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the crust.
Top with diced strawberries.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, and salt. Stir in melted butter until a crumbly dough forms.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the strawberries.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until set.
Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely (about 1 hour). Then, transfer to the refrigerator until chilled, another hour. Serve chilled.
