Strawberry Crunch Cheese Cake 

This no-bake cheesecake is a dreamy blend of creamy indulgence and playful nostalgia. A buttery graham cracker crust gives way to a light, airy cream cheese filling that’s gently sweetened and whipped to perfection. It’s crowned with a vibrant layer of fresh strawberries swirled with jam—and finished off with that nostalgic “strawberry crunch” bite from extra crumbs. Ideal for summer gatherings, this dessert looks impressive but requires minimal effort, making it a perfect showstopper when entertaining. Set it early, chill, and serve chilled—it’s destined to become your crowd-pleasing staple. 

Ingredients

• 2 cups crushed graham crackers
  
  

• ½ cup melted butter
  
  

• 2 cups whipped cream
  
  

• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  
  

• ½ cup powdered sugar
  
  

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
  

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  
  

• ¼ cup strawberry jam
  
  

Directions

1. Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
   
   

2. Press the crust into the bottom (and slightly up the sides) of an 8- or 9-inch springform pan, then freeze for 10 minutes to set.
   
   

3. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fluffy.
   
   

4. Gently fold in the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate it.
   
   

5. Spread the airy filling evenly over the chilled crust.
   
   

6. In a small bowl, toss sliced strawberries with the strawberry jam, then spoon over the cheesecake layer.
   
   

7. Sprinkle extra crushed crackers or “strawberry crunch” on top for added texture, if desired.
   
   

8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours—or overnight—for best slicing results.
