I love to bake and sometimes I enjoy taking on a baking project that takes a little bit more time and care but I’m also a busy woman with lots of things going on in my life. There are times when I want to make a special dessert that does not require three hours of my attention and focus.

That’s why this No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake is so perfect! 

I know it is easy to pick up a crust, but I encourage you to play with making your own! Grind up Oreos, smash some shortbread cookies, or whack the dickens out of some ginger snaps.

The filling comes together in minutes, and you can make the topping as simple or extravagant as you like. Strawberries are in season now and they are a crowd pleasing classic, but there is no reason why could not use peaches and raspberries. You could even put on a layer of your favorite chocolate sauce on instead.

Summer is coming, and it is full of wonderful reasons to serve dessert. What lucky people will be having a slice of your easy No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake? Whoever they are, I’m betting you will be asked for the recipe. I always am.
