No Bake, Strawberry Cheesecake

I know it’s nowhere close to being strawberry season, especially here in Oregon, but to those that have some sweet and juicy berries in their freezer, this is a way to utilize them. I made this cheesecake, a looooong time ago, just now found some pictures and thought that it’s a good idea to post them, before they…well actually they can’t go bad, but you get the idea)) The recipe calls for a pretty high ration of strawberry to cream cheese, so you get a very pronounced strawberry flavor in these. I think everyone should have a good No Bake cheesecake recipe under their sleeve, so if you don’t, here’s one to tuck in there.

    Hello Marina, I have a few questions for you. Do I have to dissolve the gelatine with lemon juice over a water bath or can I dissolve it in the microwave? Also, do you only add 100 ml of whipped cream to the mixture or 200 ml and top with additional 100 ml of topping? Lastly, how many servings does this make?

      Hi Oksana,
      You can dissolve it in the microwave, but because it’s such small amount of liquid, it will heat up very quickly and you’re in danger of killing your gelatin, because once it boils, it’s no good. So first, combine the lemon juice and gelatin, let it bloom for 2-3 minutes, then in very small intervals you can heat it in the microwave, stopping and mixing it with a spoon in between.

      You add 200 mls whip cream to make the cheesecake. the 100 is separate, and you use that to to top the set cheesecake.

      As far as servings, it really depends on how big your serving dishes/glasses are. Only the whip cream doubles, everything else retains it’s volume, so you can see that if you add the amount of ingredients together, you will get around 1 qt of cheesecake (just divide it by the volume of each of your serving dishes and you will see how many you get)

    Is this recipe big enough to fit a 9×13 glass pan or something smaller? I just want to get an idea how much the recipe yields.

      Take 1qt water and pour it into the pyrex dish, this will allow you to see how much it is. This cheesecake is very soft, so in my opinion this is better served in individual cups. it is more of a mousse consistency than new York cheesecake, lets say.
