Description

These no-bake strawberry cheesecake cups are an easy, classic dessert that combines creamy cheesecake with fresh strawberries in individual servings. Perfect for any occasion, they’re simple to make and visually stunning.

Ingredients

Scale

8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup (180 ml) heavy cream, cold
1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (150 g) graham cracker crumbs
4 tablespoons (60 g) butter, melted
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and have a sandy texture. Divide the mixture evenly among serving cups, pressing it down firmly to create a crust layer.
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Add a dollop of cheesecake filling on top of the crust layer. Smooth it out with a spoon or spatula. Add a layer of sliced strawberries, then repeat with another layer of filling and strawberries until the cups are filled.
Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
Garnish with additional strawberries or a sprig of mint before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling. For a neater presentation, use a piping bag for the filling. Chill the cups for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
