Ingredients

Scale
    • 8 ounces cream cheese
    • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
    • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/3 cup strawberry jam

Instructions

  1. Make Strawberry Sauce: In small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes until syrupy. Cool completely, then mash slightly with fork.
  2. Whip Cream: Using electric mixer, beat cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Set aside.
  3. Make Base: In separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest. Beat until fluffy.
  4. Combine: Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
  5. Swirl: Layer half the cheesecake mixture in serving bowl, drizzle with half the strawberry sauce. Repeat layers and swirl gently with knife.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving with dippers.

Notes

  • Make ahead: Dip keeps refrigerated for up to 3 days (store sauce separately if making more than 1 day in advance).
  • Lighter version: Use Neufchâtel cheese and cool whip instead of heavy cream.
  • Flavor boost: Add 1/4 tsp almond extract to cheesecake base.
  • For parties: Double the recipe and serve in a hollowed-out bread bowl.
