Here’s a recipe for a No-Bake Crispy Strawberry Cheesecake, along with approximate ingredient quantities and nutrition information:
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 2 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling:
- 16 ounces (about 450 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
For the topping:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- Additional whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal and melted butter until well coated.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to press the crust firmly into place. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the chopped strawberries and whipped cream until well combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust in the springform pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the cheesecake filling.
- Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Once set, remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and carefully release it from the springform pan, if using.
- Optionally, garnish with additional whipped cream and sliced strawberries before serving.
