- Combine the crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
- Press the crust mixture into the bottom of your 8×8 baking pan.
- Freeze the crust for 10-12 minutes.
To make the cheesecake:
- Roughly chop the strawberries and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave the strawberries for 25-30 seconds until warm and then mash them with a fork for about 30 seconds.
- Transfer the mashed strawberries to a fine-mesh strainer and press the strawberries into the strainer allowing the juice to drip into a bowl below. This should make 3 to 4 tablespoons of strawberry juice. Discard strawberry pulp and seeds.
- Using a stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese, and vanilla, adding 1 cup powdered sugar slowly on medium speed until smooth. Pour in strawberry juice and mix just until combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top of the graham cracker crust and freeze.
