No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake for One

This No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake for one is the perfect for a late night snack when you don’t want to turn the oven on. It’s creamy, fruity, and easy to make—a delightful treat that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

• Crust:
  • 2-3 graham crackers, crushed
• Cheesecake filling:
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2-3 tbsp powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2-3 tbsp strawberry purée (made by blending fresh strawberries)
• Whipped topping:
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1-2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Garnish:
  • 1 fresh strawberry

Instructions:

1. Prepare the crust:
   • Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs and press them into the bottom of your serving dish or jar. This forms the base layer of your cheesecake.
2. Make the cheesecake filling:
   • In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
   • Add the strawberry purée to the cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined. The result should be a vibrant, fruity filling.
3. Prepare the whipped topping:
   • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
4. Assemble the cheesecake:
   • Add a layer of the cheesecake filling on top of the graham cracker crust.
   • Spoon a layer of whipped cream over the cheesecake filling.
   • Repeat the layers if your serving dish allows, ending with a layer of whipped cream.
5. Garnish and serve:
   • Top the cheesecake with a fresh strawberry for a decorative touch.
   • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set (or enjoy immediately if you can’t wait!).
