Velvety No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake

No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake

This incredibly creamy velvety rich no bake strawberry cheesecake should be on the menu if you have some fresh strawberries in the kitchen!

My family absolutely devours this cake, it’s such an elegant flavor combination that kids to adults love it.

This is the perfect make-ahead dessert you can easily put together. Firstly, there’s no baking (hello time saver)! Secondly, you start setting the base in the freezer while you get the rest of it all rustled together and last but not least, you don’t need to cook the strawberry sauce! 

What is a no bake strawberry cheesecake?

A no bake strawberry cheesecake is a chilled dessert with a biscuit base, a strawberry cheesecake filling. Typically made from whipped cream, cream cheese, condensed milk, sugar, and strawberries.

There are many different types of recipes that can even include gelatin and jello. While some recipes also incorporate the strawberries in different ways from folding in fresh strawberry pieces, pureeing strawberries and then mixing it with the cheesecake, or making a strawberries sauce to drizzle on top.

What is in a no bake strawberry cheesecake?

This is a very simple dessert has three parts to it:

Biscuit base

• Graham crackers or digestive biscuits - Typically graham crackers are used which is easy to get if you’re in the US but otherwise digestive biscuits can be substituted, they are more readily available in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

• Melted butter - This binds all the biscuit crumbs together and then when chilled makes the cheesecake base solid.

Strawberry cheesecake filling

• Cream cheese - The base ingredient for all cheesecakes, I prefer to use the Philadelphia cream cheese brand.

• Condensed milk - Gives a rich velvetyness and helps create a firmer cheesecake when chilled.

• White sugar - To sweeten the cheesecake.

• Lemon juice - This is a must ingredient, it helps balance the richness of all the cream ingredients.

• Cream - Makes your no bake cheesecake airy and light.

• Fresh strawberries - The winning ingredient to make it strawberry flavor.

Strawberry sauce

• Fresh strawberries - Adds an extra punch of fresh strawberry flavor.

• Water - Thins the pureed strawberries out a little to make it spread nicely over your dessert.

Making a no bake strawberry cheesecake

Mixing together the ultra-indulgent cheesecake filling with slightly tart strawberries balances this chilled dessert nicely.

I use less melted butter in the base for a more crumbly effect, however, you can just add a little more melted butter if you prefer your cheesecake base to be more solid.

I like my cheesecakes to have the base come up the sides like a pie, to do this I use a combination of fingers and a flat bottom ramekin with a 90-degree angle between the base and the sides. There’s a video on social media that I will try to get loaded here so you can see how I do it.
