NO BAKE STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

For the Cookie Crust:

• 2 cups shortbread or graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• ½ cup butter, melted

For the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:

• 2 (8 ounce) cream cheese packages, room temperature
• ¾-1 cup granulated sugar (this depends on your preference of sweetness and sweetness of your berries)
• 1 ¼ cup strawberries, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping

INSTRUCTIONS

For the Cookie Crust:

1. Line an 8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper leaving some outside of the pan.
2. Next in a medium sized bowl, whisk cookie crumbs, granulated sugar and melted butter together until combined.
3. Press cookie mixture into the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate for 45-60 minutes.

For the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:

1. While cookie crust chills, add cream cheese, sugar, strawberries and vanilla to Vitamix.
2. Blend mixture starting at Variable 1 and going up to Variable 9 and blend until smooth. If needed, use the tamper to push all the ingredients down towards the blades. This will insure everything is blended evenly and smoothly.
3. Add half of whipped cream to cheesecake filling and gently fold in using a spatula. Repeat with remaining whipped cream.
4. Remove baking pan with crust from refrigerator and pour filling into baking pan and smooth with a spatula.
5. Freeze cheesecake for at least 4 hours then use a hot knife cut into 3 rows horizontally and vertically creating 9 bars. Keep frozen and put in refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
