I love making no bake cheesecakes. Since they are so super simple, I can make them quite quickly. I have shared quite a few no bakes cheesecakes here on my blog. Each of my kiddos have a favorite. My personal favorite is my No Bake Reese’s Peanut Butter Cheesecake. My daughter loves the No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake I made for Thanksgiving. My boys LOVE the No Bake OREO Cheesecake. Can you see a trend here? They all have a favorite.
I made this No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake in hopes that it will be great for our Valentine’s Day dessert this year. I am so super excited that it turned out perfect. The strawberries and cream cheese work so well with the graham cracker crust.
Baked cheesecakes can be intimidating, time consuming, and need to be baked. This cheesecake resembles a high end restaurant cheesecake and can be made right at home.
Fresh strawberry desserts are always so amazing. I achieved a nice pink color that is very subtle. No additional food coloring was needed to make this cheesecake look pink. LOVE IT!
You will need graham crackers, cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, sugar, butter, and fresh strawberries. You can have this cheesecake made in little to no time. I usually freeze my no bake cheesecakes, cut them in slices, and then get them out to thaw for about 30 minutes before serving. I then refrigerate any remaining pieces.This method always works great. You can also just refrigerate the cheesecake.

For all the people who did not like this recipe. I tried it and it worked extremely well. I do agree on the sugar amount, but I only added 2 and 1/2 tbsp of extra sugar and it tasted amazing. The freezing amount is correct also. So if you want to try this recipe, make sure to follow it. It was such a simple recipe too!
I have made this for my hub’s birthday treats last weekend and was really disappointed it didn’t hold its form. I froozed it overnight and took out to thawed before serving as per recommended but it was a mess when I cut it to serve. It was runny. It tasted great so I am wondering if you’re supposed to serve it still frozen because thawing it is just not doing it. Can it be freezed overnight or just 2 hours as in the recipe’s instructions.
Yum! This looks fabulous!
Can you use frozen strawberries?
Yes, but 1 pound or less
i just made this….. WHAT A FAIL!!! I am warning everyone do not DO NOT make this!!! it did not set and when i took it out of the mold, it fell and was not cheesecake at all. It was runny and such a mistake.
You are suppose to whip and then fold together, NOT mix all up
I always sets for me.
You probably added too many strawberries too
Bland bland bland – the sugar ratio is completely off. Love that it’s no bake but you definitely need more sugar.
It also completely fell apart when I removed the springform. I had it in the fridge for 5 hrs. And never set up.
FREEZER!!! Not fridge
And it fell apart because you did not whip enough. It is always stiff for me
One TB per 8 ounce cream cheese is TOO SWEET for me who has a sweet tooth!
I thought it was too sweet
Next time I make, it will have Stevia (2 packets per 8 ounce cream cheese)
I just now made this and I wish I had read the comments first. Are you sure about only 2 tablespoons of sugar??? First of all, whipping cream is not sweet and neither is cream cheese. The cheesecake had absolutely no flavor. This cheesecake definitely needs more sugar. Disappointed!
Me too Karen. I added a lot more sugar and it taste like yogurt. I made it for my mom on her birthday and it so bad. So disappointed
Yum – that looks amazing! Pinning to try one day. Thank you for sharing with us at the #HomeMattersParty
I made this last weekend when my brother showed up outta the blue and had my parents over for dinner. I love strawberries and cheesecake. I was so disappointed in this. First it never set up like it should and the taste was definitely lacking. It was bland to say the least, and yes the strawberries were sweet. But the biggest regret was when we tried having it the next day it was a big washout. The crust was soggy , so i had to throw it away. I will not make this again.
No Bake is my favorite! Thank you for sharing at Merry Monday!
