A luscious no-bake cheesecake featuring a creamy cream cheese filling and fresh strawberry topping, perfect for summer gatherings and easy to prepare in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 2 cups (300g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs look like wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Macerate the Strawberries: Toss sliced strawberries with sugar in a bowl. Let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and lump-free.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Fold Cream into Cream Cheese: Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in three additions to keep it light and fluffy.
  6. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour half the filling over the crust, layer half the macerated strawberries, then top with remaining filling and strawberries.
  7. Chill and Set: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

For cleaner slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe dry between cuts. Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for smoother mixing. Chill mixing bowl before whipping cream. Avoid overwhipping cream to prevent butter formation. Drain excess strawberry juice if too watery to keep crust crisp.
