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
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.
Whip Cream: Using electric mixer, beat cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Set aside.
Make Base: In separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest. Beat until fluffy.
Combine: Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
Swirl: Layer half the cheesecake mixture in serving bowl, drizzle with half the strawberry sauce. Repeat layers and swirl gently with knife.
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.
