How to Make No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
Crafting the Cookie Crust:
- Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment, letting it hang over the edges for easy cheesecake retrieval later.
- Whisk your cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted butter together until they’re one big happy family.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your pan and let it chill in the fridge for 45-60 minutes to set the stage for your cheesecake.
Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:
- Grab your chilled crust and let’s get to the fun part!
- Use a hand mixer or a powerhouse blender to mix cream cheese, sugar, strawberries, and vanilla until silky smooth.
- Gently fold in half of your whipped cream, repeat with the rest, and then lovingly spread it over your cookie crust.
- Freeze your masterpiece for at least 4 hours. Before serving, use a hot knife to cut it into 9 glorious bars.
- Pro Tip: Shift it to the fridge 30 minutes before serving for that perfect, melt-in-your-mouth experience.
How to Store
- Airtight Container: Place the cheesecake bars in a single layer inside an airtight container. If you need to stack them, place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Freezer-Safe Bag: Alternatively, you can wrap each bar individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing.
- Label and Date: Don’t forget to label the container or bag with the date and type of cheesecake, so you can keep track of freshness.

Two questions:
Can mascarpone CHEese be used in place of cream cheese?
Is 1 cup of whipping cream measured before it is whipped or is it 1 cup of whipped cream total?
Yes you can use mascarpone cheese for a twist on this. The whipping cream should be whipped and measure 1 cup.
Does this work in a 9×13 pan?
I have not made it in a 9×13, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. You would want to double the recipe most likely or it will be really thin.
I made these for the May Challenge and added a chocolate spin to it by making an Oreo crust and adding mini chocolate chips to the filling. Such an easy and delicious dessert!
This is so spectacularly delicious, not too sweet it is just right and easy to make. Perfectly showcases the strawberry season flavor.

Thanks so much, Michelle!!
Once it says 18bars and once 9 bars.
Is it enough for two pans? Or should I double it?
It depends on how large you cut the bars. For larger size, it is 9 bars. If you cut those bars in half, you get 18 smaller bars. I hope this helps.
I found this cheesecake recipe very easy and extremely tasty
Yay! Glad to hear it!
