Ingredients

WHIPPED CREAM: Add the heavy whipping cream, ¼ cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to a chilled large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer with chilled beaters, beat the heavy cream mixture for about 4 minutes or until stiff peaks form, gradually increasing the speed from low to medium-high.
CREAM CHEESE: In a second large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and ¼ cup powdered sugar with the electric mixer until it is combined and completely smooth.
COMBINE: Reserve one rounded cup of whipped cream, setting it to the side for later. Mix the remaining whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture on low speed until combined.
CRUST: In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. It will have a crumbly, sand-like texture.
ASSEMBLE: Evenly divide the crust, cheesecake filling, and strawberry jam among six 9-ounce dessert cups. Do not pack the crust too firmly. If your jam is thick, you can warm it for 20 to 30 seconds in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl to make it easier to spread. Top each cheesecake cup with a large swirl of the reserved whipped cream.
CHILL: Chill for 20 minutes or until ready to serve. Just before serving, garnish with strawberry slices (optional).
