Strawberry shortcake ice cream flavor packed into a no-bake cheesecake. Here's your new, favorite, easy cheesecake recipe that is sure to create more fans.
My absolute favorite ice cream growing up were those Good Humor strawberry shortcake bars. Back when ice cream trucks were still a thing...a rare thing...but still around none the less, it was my go to and never disappointed. Because no-bake cheesecake is so easy and very popular on my TikTok, I knew combining these two flavors would be an instant hit with any crowd.
"I'm obessed with any recipe that doesn't require me to turn on the oven."
Not only does this recipe not require an oven, but it tastes very similar to a classic cheesecake thanks to the tang you get from the sour cream addition. So, less time...same great flavor. Also, the delicious pairing of crunchy golden oreos and smooth, creamy cheesecake is one that you won't be able to get enough of. But, enough of my trying to convince you. Let's get baking....or no-baking!
Strawberry Shortcake No-Bake Cheesecake
Ingredients:
Here's everything you need to make these yummy treats.
Strawberry Sauce
1 cup Strawberries (diced)
1/4 sugar
Lemon Zest
Filling
2 - 8oz cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
7 oz sweetened condensed milk (half of can)
1.5 tsp vanilla extract
Crust
20 Oreos
3 tbsp butter (melted)
Crunch
12-15 golden oreos
1.5 oz Strawberry Jello
1 tbsp butter (unsalted)
Directions:
Combine clean, diced strawberries and sugar in a small pot. Cook on low-med heat for about 8-10 mins, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, mix together room temperature cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Taste the mixture and then add the powdered sugar, if needed. Then, set aside.
Combine crushed golden Oreos with melted butter to form the crust. Set aside for the assembly process.
Remove the strawberry sauce from the stove and let it cool. Then, blend it or mash up the strawberries to make the sauce smoother.
Once the sauce has cooled, line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
Fill the cupcake liners with about 1 tablespoon of oreo crust. Press down firmly with clean fingers or a flat bottom measuring cup to form the bottom of your cheesecakes.
Top the oreo crust with the cheesecake mixture and then pipe the strawberry sauce into the middle with a piping bag or ziplock bag.
Finish them by topping the cheesecakes with the strawberry crunch mixture, before chilling them overnight to set.
Add whipped cream, leftover strawberry crunch topping, and strawberries before serving.
Enjoy!
I doubt these will last long, but remember that they need to remain chilled and will last for about 3 days in the fridge. I recommend you make them the evening before you plan on serving them and perhaps make double, because they are bound to disappear fast.
Happy No-Baking!
