A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring a crunchy graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake filling, and fresh strawberry topping—perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets, crushed finely)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
  2. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the crust mixture into each dessert cup and press down firmly to create an even layer. Chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, keeping the texture light and fluffy.
  6. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust in each cup, filling about 3/4 full. Smooth the tops.
  7. In a small bowl, toss sliced strawberries with lemon juice and sugar or honey. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to macerate.
  8. Top each cheesecake cup with the macerated strawberries just before serving, or refrigerate without topping for up to 4 hours and add strawberries later.

Notes

Let cream cheese come to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Fold whipped cream gently to keep filling light and airy. Press crust firmly into cups to prevent crumbling. Prepare crust and filling ahead and add strawberries just before serving for freshness.
