    No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake by Cravings of a Lunatic

    This may be one of the easiest cheesecakes you will ever make. I love cheesecakes that are baked in the oven, but some days I just do not have time to mess around. When I have days like that I do things like this. That way I get an amazing dessert without sacrificing hours in the kitchen.

    Whipping Cream Week continues. This one uses it in the filling. It's a great way to use up spare heavy cream you may have around the house.

    Today is our last day together before B-Dude heads back. We'll spend about half a day together before we make the trek to Toronto. This is all hinging on the weather since we seem to be having yet another winter storm. It's also contingent on puppy being okay. I am heading out with her in about an hour to the vet. Hopefully it's nothing serious. If all goes well I'll spend the night in Toronto with B-Dude, then drive him to the airport early in the morning. After that my plan is to hang out with Izzy from Crumb. So let's all cross fingers the weather mellows out and the puppy is okay. Otherwise I'll be seeing Izzy in the spring. Have I mentioned how much I hate winter lately?

    Winter blows!

    Since today's theme seems to be rushing and doing things quickly I am just going to cut to the chase today. Here's some pics, the recipe, followed by a giveaway. How's that for speedy delivery?

    • 6 tablespoons butter melted
    • 2 tablespoon sugar

    For the Cheesecake Filling:

    • 3 packages of cream cheese 8 oz size, softened
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 2 cups strawberries frozen or fresh, divided
    • ½ tub cool whip 8 oz
    • ½ cup heavy cream

    For the Garnish:

    • Whipped cream either homemade or store bought
    • Strawberries

    Instructions

    For the Crust:

    • In a medium sized bowl combine the graham crumbs and butter. Mix until well combined. Pour into parchment lined 9 x 13 pan. Press down firmly.

    For the Cheesecake Filling:

    • In a stand mixer combine the cream cheese and sugar, beat until well combined and fluffy.
    • Add 1 ½ cups of the strawberries and the cool whip. Beat until well combined.
    • In a blender or magic bullet combine ½ cup of the strawberries and the heavy cream. Mix until thick and creamy. Add this to the stand mixer and beat again until incorporated really well.

    • Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
    • Garnish with whipping cream and strawberries.
    • Serve with a big old strawberry smile!

    Notes

    You can use any fruit in this one.
    This is a no bake cheesecake so it's not as thick when you slice into it. Make sure you let it set up for at least 4 hours.

      I love a nice creamy cheesecake, but have been thinking of developing a vanilla chai cheesecake. My layered pumpkin cheesecake would go well in this pan!! Yum!
