Description
A delicious no-bake strawberry cheesecake that is easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ounces cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 sheets graham crackers (1 ounce/30 g) or use vanilla or chocolate wafers
- ½ cup sliced strawberries
Instructions
- Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth. Set aside.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. (You can also use a whisk, though it takes more effort.)
- Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully blended.
- Assemble the Cake: In a small dessert dish (a 10-ounce ramekin works well), add a layer of graham crackers, breaking them to fit as needed.
- Add Layers: Spread half of the cream mixture over the crackers with half of the sliced strawberries, another layer of graham crackers, the remaining cream on top, then finish with the rest of the strawberries.
- Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, until the layers set and the graham crackers soften.
Notes
- For best results, let the cheesecake sit overnight in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set properly.
- Feel free to substitute other fruits for strawberries, such as blueberries or raspberries.
