I absolutely love a good cheesecake, don't get me wrong, but they can be a real pain to make! The water bath, the hot cheesecake, no thank you! When I want all the flavors of cheesecake without the pain of making it, I go for this dip or my peanut butter cheesecake dip!
No bake desserts are so delicious and so easy to make! My oven space is always at a premium, so if I can make something without turning on my oven, that's the recipe for me!
When it comes to flavors, strawberry is always a top flavor in my house! We love strawberry vanilla milkshakes, strawberry banana milkshake, and strawberry blueberry smoothies so it only makes sense to make a dessert all about strawberry!
Ingredients to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Dip

- Cream cheese. One brick of cream cheese should be softened to room temperature to make sure it is easy to mix into the rest of the ingredients.
- Powdered sugar. Granulated sugar would make this dip grainy, so you want to use powdered sugar in this recipe.
- Strawberry jam. Use your favorite. If you have homemade jam, this is a great place to use it!
- Whipped topping. Homemade whipped cream can be used too if you prefer to not use Cool whip or store bought whipped topping.
- Vanilla extract. For a little extra flavor.

How To Make Strawberry Cheesecake Dip

- Step 3: Add the powdered sugar to the bowl.

- Step 4: Add the vanilla extract to the bowl.

Lynn's Tip!
For a sweeter dip, feel free to add some more powdered sugar. Depending on how sweet your jam is may change how sweet the dip is. Taste it before you serve it to see if it needs a little more sweetness.
Tips and Tricks
- Cold cream cheese can make your dip lumpy. Give it time to soften for a silky-smooth texture.
- If you don't want to use whipped topping, whipped cream is a great choice instead.
- Change up the jam! You can make this a blueberry cheesecake dip or a peach cheesecake dip by simply changing the jam. Use blueberry jam, peach jam, mixed berry jam, or even apricot jam.
- While this dip is delicious right away, chilling it for 30 minutes before serving firms up the dip and helps the flavors meld together.
What To Serve with Strawberry Cheesecake Dip
One of the best parts about this dip is how versatile it is! Here are some of our favorite dippers:
- Try shortbread cookies or chocolate chip cookies.
- Graham crackers are a classic choice that complements the cheesecake flavor perfectly. Cheesecake is usually made with a graham cracker crust, so it only makes sense to use graham crackers!
- Vanilla wafers are perfect for this dip too! They are sweet and soft, they’re a kid-favorite. Use any leftovers to make a banana pudding!
- Pretzels are a great choice too! The salty crunch is so good with the sweet, creamy dip!
- Sliced strawberries, apple slices, and banana chunks are all great choices too! Just make sure they are firm enough to hold up to the dip!
