This no-bake strawberry cheesecake features a buttery graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake filling, and a sweet strawberry topping—perfect for warm-weather desserts without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
  4. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. In a small bowl, combine chopped strawberries with strawberry jam. Spoon the mixture over the top of the cheesecake.
  6. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
  7. Remove from springform pan, slice, and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture.
  • For a firmer crust, bake it at 350°F for 8 minutes before chilling (optional).
  • Fresh or frozen strawberries can be used for the topping.
