Easy No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake: A creamy, fruity summer dessert with an Oreo crust, strawberry-flavored filling stabilized by Jell-o, needing no baking and perfect for parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Oreo cookie baking crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 85 gram box of strawberry-flavored Jello powder
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 800 grams full fat cream cheese (about 28 ounces)
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups whipped cream (about 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks)
  • Extra whipped cream and fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Mix the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter together in a small bowl. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create your crust.
  2. In another small bowl, stir the strawberry Jell-o powder into the boiling water until it’s completely dissolved. Set this aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Slowly add in the powdered sugar a little at a time, mixing well until fully combined.
  4. With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the slightly cooled Jell-o mixture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed and continue mixing until everything is fully incorporated.
  5. Carefully fold in the whipped cream until your filling is light, fluffy, and completely blended.
  6. Pour the creamy cheesecake filling over your Oreo crust. Use a rubber spatula to smooth the top evenly.
  7. Pop the cheesecake into the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight to set perfectly. When ready to serve, transfer it to the fridge for about an hour or leave at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften for easier slicing.
  8. Top with extra whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Use full fat cream cheese for firmer texture and neat slices., Whip cream to stiff peaks to avoid loose filling., Freezing plus fridge chilling ensures perfect firmness and clean slices., Avoid too many mix-ins or large chunks to maintain set consistency., Swap Oreo crust for graham cracker or chocolate cookie crumbs if desired., Substitute flavored Jello with unflavored gelatin plus fresh strawberry purée for natural flavor., Fold in up to 1 cup finely diced fresh strawberries if preferred, but limit to help cheesecake set properly., Store-bought stable whipped topping can replace fresh whipped cream for convenience., Chocolate layer or cocoa powder can be added for chocolate-strawberry variations., Refrigerate assembled cheesecake for up to 3-4 days covered; freeze wrapped tightly for up to 1 month., Thaw frozen cheesecake overnight in fridge before serving., Warm a thin, sharp knife between cuts for clean slices.
