This cheesecake will be perfect for Valentine’s Day, a special occasion, or an everyday dessert. Since we use fresh strawberries in the filling you will find amazing flavors.
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.
