No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Delight<\/strong> is the ultimate no-bake dessert for the spring and summer months. A buttery graham cracker crust topped with a super thick and creamy layer of a cheesecake mixture and topped with strawberry pie filling.\u00a0Strawberry Cheesecake Delight: A No-Bake Classic That Never Goes Out of Style<\/strong> If you grew up anywhere that values a good potluck, chances are you\u2019ve had some version of this dessert. Strawberry Delight has been around for generations, and it\u2019s not hard to see why. It\u2019s easy to throw together, uses simple ingredients, and hits all the right notes\u2014creamy, fruity, sweet, and just a little nostalgic.<\/p>\n A sliceable dessert that is perfect for your next potluck, summer cookout, or gathering. This strawberry cheesecake delight is one dessert that disappears first. It\u2019s so good.<\/p>\n First up: that classic graham cracker crust. This is a tried-and-true base that\u2019s buttery, a little sweet, and gives the whole dessert some structure and crunch. You only need three ingredients\u2014graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Run the crackers through a food processor, stir in the sugar and butter, and press it all down into the bottom of an 8\u00d78 dish. No baking needed here. Just make sure you press it down firmly so it holds up when you slice into it later.<\/p>\n Next is the heart of the dessert\u2014a smooth, creamy cheesecake-like layer made with cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and whipped topping. It\u2019s sweet but not overly so, and the texture is light and fluffy. You\u2019ll want your cream cheese at room temperature to avoid lumps (no one wants a surprise chunk of cream cheese in their dessert). Once it\u2019s blended with the sugar and vanilla, fold in the whipped topping until it\u2019s all smooth and uniform.<\/p>\n Spread this layer over the crust\u2014nice and even. It doesn\u2019t need to be perfect, but the more level it is, the better it\u2019ll hold up under the strawberry layer.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s where things get fun. Instead of fresh strawberries or a homemade compote, we\u2019re using canned strawberry pie filling. It might not be fancy, but it brings a sweet, glossy, and unmistakably strawberry flavor that works perfectly here. Plus, no prep required\u2014just pop open the can and spread it gently over the cream layer. Try not to press too hard when spreading it out so you don\u2019t mix it into the layer below.<\/p>\n Here is a list of what you will need for this strawberry dessert. The full list is featured below at the bottom of the post.<\/p>\n Graham Crackers<\/strong> \u2013 You will finely crush up your crackers to make them the base of your crust!<\/p>\n Butter<\/strong> \u2013 Real butter is needed for this dessert. Margarine is oily and you will find it makes the crust greasy.<\/p>\n Sugar<\/strong> \u2013 Granulated sugar is used to help sweeten up the crust. Then you will reach for powdered sugar for the filling portion of the batter.<\/p>\n Cream Cheese<\/strong> \u2013 Make sure to reach for softened cream cheese. If it is not soft it will not blend properly and create a lumpy texture.<\/p>\n Vanilla<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0 A splash of vanilla extract is always the perfect pairing as it helps enhance all the flavors of the cheesecake filling.<\/p>\n Whipped Cream<\/strong> \u2013 Cool Whip is perfect for helping create that ultra-fluffy texture to the filling.<\/p>\n Pie Filling<\/strong> \u2013 For the topping, I used a strawberry pie filling. Now you can change out the flavor if you would like.<\/p>\n After it\u2019s all layered, cover the dish and pop it in the fridge for at least two hours. This step is key. It helps everything firm up, and the flavors start to meld together a bit. You\u2019ll get those clean layers when you slice into it, and the texture will be spot-on.<\/p>\n When it\u2019s ready, just slice and serve. No need to get fancy\u2014though a dollop of extra whipped cream or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs on top doesn\u2019t hurt if you\u2019re feeling it.<\/p>\n Pie Filling <\/strong>\u2013 You can use any flavor of pie filling you would like. Blueberry, cherry, lemon curd, peach, etc. Go the extra steps if you want and even make your pie filling.<\/p>\n Fresh Fruit \u2013<\/strong> Or opt for a fresh fruit topping instead of a pie filling. Just slice up some fresh strawberries or other fruit and layer on top of the whipped cream topping.<\/p>\n Crust <\/strong>\u2013 Golden Oreos, Chocolate Oreos, flavored graham crackers, shortbread cookies, and more could be used in replace of the graham crackers.<\/p>\n Lemon <\/strong>\u2013 Add some lemon juice and lemon zest to the mixture for a sweet and tangy strawberry lemon delight.<\/p>\n Mix In\u2019s <\/strong>\u2013 Feel free to dice up fresh fruit and mix in the cheesecake fluffy filling. Or you could even swirls of chocolate, nuts, mini chocolate chips, or other items to swirl in the batter.<\/p>\n Refrigerate the strawberry cheesecake delight dessert in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. You might get a day or two more out of it, but it will break down over time.<\/p>\n You can freeze this dessert as well. Just place it in a freezer-friendly container and then freeze it for 2-3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before you plan to serve and enjoy.<\/p>\n Make sure to use a rolling pin to fully crush the crackers or a food processor. Or skip some of the prep and buy pre-crumbled crust in a box.<\/p>\n Softened cream cheese is a must, or it will have a lumpy texture like cottage cheese. You can take your cream cheese place it in a bowl of warm water (not hot) and leave it in the foil. Then let it sit for 5 minutes, check the softness, and repeat if needed. This is a quick way to soften it.<\/p>\n Homemade whipped cream can be used for the batter, but I find Cool Whip is more stable and will allow for that light and fluffy texture for a lot longer.<\/p>\n Strawberry Delight is simple, unfussy, and totally satisfying. It\u2019s the kind of dessert that feels like something your grandma used to make, in the best way possible. You don\u2019t need a mixer full of attachments or a long list of ingredients\u2014just a few pantry staples and about 10 minutes of prep.<\/p>\n Strawberry Delight is also super make-ahead friendly. In fact, it gets better as it sits. Letting it chill for a few hours gives it time to firm up, and the flavors settle into each other nicely. If you\u2019re hosting a get-together or need something you can prep the night before, this is the dessert to go with. No last-minute stress, no worrying about it collapsing or drying out. Just pull it out of the fridge when it\u2019s time to serve and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n And it feeds a crowd, too. An 8\u00d78 pan gives you 9\u201312 good-sized servings, and if you\u2019re doubling it for a larger gathering, just use a 9\u00d713 and double the ingredients. It scales up easily without losing any of its charm.<\/p>\n The beauty of a dessert like this is how flexible it is. You can absolutely swap the strawberry pie filling for blueberry, cherry, or even peach\u2014whatever fruit filling you\u2019ve got on hand or whatever your people prefer. Want a chocolate version? Try using crushed chocolate graham crackers for the crust and topping with chocolate pudding and whipped cream instead of pie filling. Once you\u2019ve got the basic formula down, the options are endless.<\/p>\n Once you get your ingredients mixed for the batter. Make sure you do not overmix. If you do, it will deflate the mixture a bit and lose that ultra-fluffy and velvety texture.<\/p>\n You must allow time for your cheesecake to chill and set up. Otherwise, when you go to slice you will find it kind of falls apart easier. So make this ahead of when you place to serve it up.<\/p>\n Slice your dessert with a warm knife. Take your knife and run under warm water. Then wipe the blade off so it is dry, and slice. This will allow for really nice clean lines. For each new slice, you will repeat warm water on the knife, clean the blade, and then slice.<\/p>\n You can make this a dairy-free dessert if you want. Use a dairy-free alternative to the cream cheese, or whipped cream, and swap out the butter as well. Use any alternatives that you prefer in terms of flavor.<\/p>\n Yes, go right ahead and make it a day ahead of when you want to serve it up. Just simply store it in a sealed container in the fridge until you are ready to slice and serve.<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re making this for a family gathering, a potluck, or just because you want something sweet in the fridge for the week, this is the kind of dessert that disappears fast. It\u2019s cool, creamy, and always hits the spot.<\/p>\n Bottom line? Keep this one in your back pocket. It\u2019s a no-fail, no-bake classic for a reason.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This post may contain affiliate links.
