A quick and delicious no-bake strawberry cheesecake made with just cream cheese, fresh strawberries, and graham cracker crumbs. Perfect for last-minute desserts with no oven required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and pureed or finely chopped
  • 1 cup (100 g) graham cracker crumbs
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or sugar (if strawberries are tart)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon melted butter (to bind crust)

Instructions

  1. Wash and hull 1 cup (150 g) of fresh strawberries. Blend or mash them until smooth. For chunkier texture, mash gently with a fork. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat 8 oz (225 g) of softened cream cheese with an electric mixer or whisk until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gently fold the strawberry puree into the cream cheese until fully combined and evenly pink. Add a teaspoon of honey or sugar if berries are tart and mix again.
  4. Press 1 cup (100 g) of graham cracker crumbs firmly into the base of a springform pan or serving glasses. Optionally, add 1 tablespoon melted butter to help bind the crust.
  5. Spoon the creamy strawberry mixture over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the cheesecake set properly. For softer texture, chill for 1 hour; overnight chilling is ideal.
  7. Once chilled, slice or scoop out servings. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a sprig of mint if desired.

Notes

Soften cream cheese at room temperature for about 30 minutes to avoid lumps. Drain excess juice from strawberries if very juicy to prevent runny cheesecake. Adding melted butter to crust is optional but helps binding. Chill at least 2 hours or overnight for best texture. If too soft after chilling, freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.
