Description
A simple, fresh, and creamy no-bake dessert featuring layers of creamy cheesecake, fresh strawberries, and crunchy cookies. Perfect for hot days and quick to assemble with just five ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 8 oz (225g) whipped topping, thawed (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups (about 300g) fresh strawberries, sliced
- About 24 Oreo cookies or chocolate wafer cookies (about 300g), or substitute with graham crackers
Instructions
- Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated with no lumps.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping using a spatula until light and fluffy; set aside.
- Wash, hull, and slice strawberries thinly; set some aside for garnish.
- Place a layer of Oreo cookies at the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, whole or slightly broken to cover gaps.
- Spread about one-third of the cheesecake filling evenly over the cookie layer.
- Scatter a generous layer of sliced strawberries over the cheesecake layer.
- Repeat layering cookies, cheesecake filling, and strawberries two more times, finishing with a top layer of cheesecake.
- Arrange a few strawberry slices on top for garnish and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Pat strawberries dry to prevent sogginess. Chill overnight for best texture and easier slicing. Use a warm knife for clean slices. Can substitute cookies with gluten-free or graham crackers. Homemade whipped cream can be used instead of store-bought whipped topping.
