Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1 package graham crackers Crushed
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter Melted
For the filling
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries Sliced
  • 1 package cream cheese 8 oz, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Crush the graham crackers in a food processor or place them in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
  2. Combine the crushed graham crackers with melted butter in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create a uniform crust.
Making the Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  3. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully blended and fluffy.
Assembly
  1. Spread half of the cream cheese filling over the crust.
  2. Layer half of the sliced strawberries over the filling.
  3. Repeat the process with the remaining filling and strawberries, topping with the last layer of strawberries.
Chilling
  1. Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
Serving
  1. Once set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
  2. Slice your No Bake Strawberry Delight and serve it chilled.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute gluten-free graham crackers. You can swap out half of the cream cheese for Greek yogurt for a healthier option. Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps. Avoid overwhipping the cream to maintain a smooth texture.
