Description
A delightful, no-bake strawberry cheesecake perfect for two, combining creamy cheesecake with vibrant strawberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 lb. fresh strawberries
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 4 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 full sheets graham crackers
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries well, remove the stems, then slice them.
- Place the sliced strawberries in a bowl, add the granulated sugar, and stir to combine. Let the strawberries sit while you prepare the rest of the dish, stirring them occasionally.
- In a separate bowl, begin whipping the heavy whipping cream on high speed until thick and fluffy, then add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Whip until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, combine the cream cheese and lemon juice and whip until soft and creamy.
- Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and combine until smooth.
- To make the graham cracker crust, crush the graham crackers, then melt the butter and mix it with the crumbs and brown sugar.
- To assemble, divide the crust between two containers, layer with cheesecake filling, and top with strawberries and their juices. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
Notes
Letting the strawberries sit enhances their sweetness. Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
