Melissa Griffiths
This dreamy No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake combines creamy texture with fresh berries and an Oreo cookie crust for a show-stopping dessert without turning on your oven. Perfect for summer gatherings or any occasion when you crave something sweet yet refreshing!
3teaspoonslemon juice(fresh squeezed, about ½ a lemon)
1cup heavy whipping cream
1 ½cups fresh strawberries(sliced, amount can be altered to your taste)
Instructions
For the Crust:
Crush Oreos in a bag with a rolling pin or in a food processor until they are medium and fine crumbs.
Add melted butter and stir until combined.
Press into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a standard size pie plate or springform pan.
Refrigerate until ready to fill.
For the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat or whisk the cream cheese until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar and beat or whisk until smooth.
Add the greek yogurt, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Beat or whisk until smooth.
Add the cream and whisk or beat on high until light and fluffy and medium peaks form about 2 minutes.
For Assembly:
Pour the prepared filling into the prepared crust. Smooth out.
Place sliced strawberries on top in a circular design or however you desire.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight (see note).
Notes
Room Temp Ingredients: The cream cheese must be at room temperature for easy mixing and to ensure a creamy, lump-free filling.Yogurt Options: You can use plain, vanilla, honey, or strawberry Greek yogurt. Best Strawberry Topping:
Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor.
For an extra burst of strawberry flavor, toss your sliced strawberries with a tablespoon of sugar and let them sit for 30 minutes before topping the cheesecake. This draws out the juices and intensifies the flavor.
Make Ahead & Storage Tips: You can make this in advance of when you need it, though I recommend only a day before.
It will keep in the fridge (covered) for up to a week, but after a few days, the strawberries start to bleed red onto the filling and dry out slightly. If you're planning to store it for several days, I suggest storing it without the berries and adding them when ready to serve.
While you can chill this cheesecake for as little as an hour before serving, it's best with at least 4 hours of chill time before cutting.
The longer the cheesecake is refrigerated before slicing, the crisper the sliced edges and crust will be.
Pretty Serving Tips:
If you're using a springform pan, remember to carefully run a knife around the edges of the pan before removing it.
For picture-perfect slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it clean between each cut. This prevents the filling from sticking to the knife and creates beautiful, clean edges.
Slicing will be much easier and will make cleaner cuts if the cheesecake has chilled for 24 hours.
