A simple, quick, and light no-bake strawberry cheesecake dessert in portable jars, made with just five ingredients and no complicated steps.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 1/2 cups (225 g) strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (120 g) crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits

Instructions

  1. Crush the cookies: Place about 1 cup (120 g) of graham crackers or digestive biscuits into a sealed plastic bag. Use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy pan to crush them into fine crumbs with some small chunks for texture (3-5 minutes).
  2. Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a medium bowl, beat 8 oz (225 g) softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract using an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes).
  3. Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold 1 cup (240 ml) whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula to keep it light and airy (1-2 minutes).
  4. Layer the jars: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the crushed cookie crumbs into the bottom of each jar. Press lightly to create a firm base. Add 3-4 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling on top and smooth gently.
  5. Add the strawberries: Top each jar with about 3-4 sliced strawberries (roughly 1/4 cup or 40 g). Optionally toss strawberries with a little powdered sugar or lemon juice before adding.
  6. Chill: Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to let flavors meld and cheesecake layer set.
  7. Serve: Garnish with a fresh strawberry slice or mint leaf if desired. Serve chilled directly from the jar.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing for smooth texture. Fold whipped cream gently to keep filling airy. Lightly press cookie crumbs to avoid compact base. Chill jars for at least 2 hours for best texture. Use ripe but firm strawberries. Frozen strawberries should be thawed and drained. Variations include swapping berries, gluten-free crust, dairy-free alternatives, or adding cocoa powder for chocolate flavor.
