For a long time I have been looking for a No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake recipe. I wanted a real strawberry hit with a creamy background and here she so is cheesecake people. Beautifully full of strawberries and cream, one mouthful and I swear Tim Henman is sitting opposite me. Make it and weep.
Strawberry Cheesecake
As I say countless times, these recipes are all those that I think are BRILLIANT. This Cheesecake is sooooo that. Full of strawberry flavour but creamy as hell you are practically catapulted right onto Henman's Hill one gloriously sunny July day within the very first smooth savour. Just dreamy. Think Strawberry Thickshake. As per usual it is super easy and make ahead for a no stress situation. There is nothing worse than it all going t.ts five minutes before the door bell. I break out in a cold/raging hot sweat just thinking about it....
How To Make No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
I make the biscuit base in my food processor but of course you can bash away in a bag with a rolling pin. I just love my appliances. I'm all for the flick of a switch. I smooth the rubbly biscuit with the back of a spoon into my serving dish. I usually use an 8" loose bottomed spring release tin.
I then rinse the processor out before pureeing the strawberries and jam. I use my free standing mixer for the filling. Whisking the condensed milk and cream until thick before adding the pureed strawberries and jam, cream cheese, sour cream and melted jelly.
Another jolly good whisk and then the filling is pastel pink and ready to be poured onto the chilled biscuit base. You can do the same with a hand held electric whisk but the pureeing of the strawberries and jam does require a food processor of some sort.
The jelly will set the filling quite quickly so it is ready for slicing in a couple of hours but I have also made it the night before and it is perfect either way. As I mentioned earlier, Make it and weep.....

No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
This is a heavenly Strawberry Cheesecake recipe. Easy to make ahead and completely delicious to eat. It has become a family favourite.
Ingredients
- 250 grams digestive biscuits
- 80 grams unsalted butter melted
- 200 grams already hulled strawberries I just slice the green tops off
- 100 grams strawberry jam
- 1 packet strawberry jelly 135grams
- 180 grams full fat cream cheese
- 200 mls double cream
- 100 grams sour cream
- 397 grams condensed milk 1 tin
Instructions
-
Blitz the biscuits and melted butter in a food processor until you're left with a sandy rubble. Empty into your serving dish. I use mostly a loose bottomed, spring release 8" tin. Smooth the biscuit level with the back of a spoon. Put in the fridge for 30 mins or the freezer for ten mins.
-
Cut up the jelly into cubes and place into a mug, add 4 tbsp boiling water. Stir until dissolved. If it is taking a while to all melt you can blast in the microwave for ten seconds at a time. Allow to cool until just warm.
-
Empty out the tin of condensed milk into a mixing bowl and add the cream. Whisk until thick and then add the strawberry mixture followed by all the rest. The mixture will be pink and not thick any more. Fear not the jelly will set it in the fridge.
-
Pour onto your now chilled biscuit base and place in the fridge for ⅔ hours. Keep it in there until ready to serve. I slice it into half then five slices to each half.

Strawberry anything is a favorite and a "no bake" creamy cheesecake is a wonderful way to use this fruit. I didn't know you could buy packets of jelly - I found them online but will have to look for them in my local grocery. Great recipe 🙂

I’ve just finished the last slice!! In the Uk the most popular brand is Hartleys 135 grams. I figure you could use it in the same way for mousses. Who knew?!

Your cheesecake looks exceptionally creamy and flavorful! Love that it is no-bake too.

This has my mouth watering! I've never had /made a cheesecake like this. I think it looks almost a little lighter and much dreamier and probably a lot more strawberry-ish than a baked cheesecake. It's on my list!
Btw, I'm so glad I'm not young anymore, lol!! I think I might look better in a bikini not laying down but maybe standing on my head. Then everything would go back to it's proper spot. But then I don't even know if I can stand on my head anymore, haha. Probably not....
