Cheesecake and pie are two things I love most in the world. The only problem is I can never decide between the two. So, I decided to combine them into one irresistible dessert with this no bake strawberry cheesecake pie recipe! I didn’t just stop there, though.
I made it even easier, eliminating the need to prepare a crust, use a water bath, or work through complicated steps just like my no bake key lime pie and no bake coconut cream pie. Instead, all you need is a mixer, a few minutes, and a little patience for the filling to set!
Ingredients to Gather
You only need six ingredients to create a strawberry cream cheese pie with a bold strawberry flavor.
- Graham Cracker Crust. Find this in the baking aisle of your local grocery store, or make your own! Whenever they are on sale I stock up and grab a bunch so I can make all sorts of no bake desserts!
- Cream Cheese and Powdered Sugar. These form the base of the cheesecake filling. I use the same filling for my no bake cranberry cream pie too!
- Heavy Cream. Converted to whipped cream, this creates a light, fluffy consistency.
- Fresh Strawberries. Add the finishing touch and extra fruity flavor.
- Strawberry Jam. Any homemade or store-bought jam will work.

How To Make No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
Step 1
Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Step 2
Add the powdered sugar to the bowl.
Step 3
Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Then, fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
Step 4
Spoon the filling into the graham cracker crust, smoothing it out on top. Add a small spoonful of strawberry jam, and gently swirl it throughout the filling. Chill for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set. Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries, and enjoy!
Storage Instructions
This no-bake strawberry cheesecake pie is a total lifesaver when you need an easy dessert! Once you’ve made it, just pop it in the fridge, covered, and it’ll stay fresh for about 3-4 days.
Keep leftovers in an airtight container or cover the pie dish tightly with plastic wrap to keep everything creamy and delicious. If you’re topping it with fresh strawberries, I’d wait to add them until right before serving so they stay nice and juicy instead of getting soggy.
You can make this pie 1-2 days in advance and keep it chilled until you’re ready to serve.
If you need to freeze it, wrap the whole pie (or individual slices) in plastic wrap and then a layer of foil to prevent freezer burn. It’ll keep in the freezer for up to a month, and when you’re ready to dig in, just let it thaw in the fridge for a few hours.
