The no bake strawberry cheesecake is quick and easy to put together. It is a perfect dessert for Valentine’s day or any other occasion. It is made without gelatin and has only a few ingredients.

Since Red is the color of Valentine’s Day, this no bake strawberry cheesecake makes it the ideal dessert for the special day. No-bake and no-cook desserts are a must in everyone’s recipe collection because it can be a lifesaver if you like to entertain. When you have a busy day or a week, you can make it in advance, and it only takes a total of 15 minutes.

Isn’t that great!

So apart from the list, I put together for your special day, here is another excellent recipe.

If you haven’t had a chance to check the Valentine’s Day special post, then please do check it out and if you haven’t planned anything yet, you can still do it.

The crust, to balance the sweetness, cheesecake mixture sandwiched between two layers of strawberries and above all a whipped cream topping makes it irresistible.

Furthermore, when you substitute rum instead of vanilla or use a good quality real vanilla extract or vanilla beans, then this is one more step closer to dessert heaven.

Strawberries in Syrup!

A cream cheese mixture which is hard to resist!

Let this cool completely before you add this to the cream cheese mixture.
In a bowl, add heavy whipping cream + confectioners sugar + vanilla or rum and beat till stiff peaks form. Keep aside. (Remember the bowl and the attachment should be cold.)
In another bowl, add cream cheese + sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add 1/8 cup heavy whipping cream + vanilla or rum and mix well. (Taste and add more sugar if needed)
Add half of the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and fold it in.
FOR THE CRUST: Add graham crackers + melted butter + sugar to a food processor until fine crumbs form.
Divide this into individual cups and press it lightly with a spoon.
Add the strawberry syrup or arrange the slices and add cream cheese mixture on the top. Add one more layer of strawberries. Pipe or add extra whipped cream on top. Garnish with a strawberry slice.
