Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Layer:

2 cups cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed

For the Crunchy Topping:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup butter, melted

1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes

1/4 cup finely chopped nuts (almonds or pecans)

For Garnish:

Fresh strawberries, halved

Whipped cream

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

    Add Strawberry Puree: Gently fold in the pureed strawberries until the mixture is well combined and a lovely pink hue appears.

      Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold this whipped cream into the strawberry cheesecake mixture, ensuring you maintain its light and airy texture.

        Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake mixture into a 9-inch springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

          Make the Crunchy Topping: While the cheesecake is setting, prepare the crispy topping. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, toasted coconut, and chopped nuts. Mix until everything is well coated.

            Add the Topping: Once the cheesecake has set, remove it from the refrigerator. Sprinkle the crunchy topping evenly over the cheesecake, pressing down lightly to adhere.

              Garnish and Serve: Decorate the top with fresh strawberry halves and a dollop of whipped cream. Slice into wedges and serve chilled.
