Delightful and creamy Strawberry No-Bake Cheesecake Cups, layered with strawberry jam and topped with whipped cream, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (certified gluten free if necessary)
- 3 Tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 1 block full-fat cream cheese (8 ounces, room temperature)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons sour cream (room temperature)
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup strawberry jam
- Whipped Cream:
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 1 ½ Tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 strawberries (optional, sliced)
- 2 Tablespoons dark chocolate (optional, roughly chopped)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and dark brown sugar until crumbly.
- Fill each cup with 1/6 of the crust (about 2 tablespoons per cup).
- Beat the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until it thickens and holds stiff peaks (about 4 minutes). Chill the whipped cream in the fridge.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and granulated sugar. Mix on medium speed until smooth (about 3 minutes).
- Add the sour cream, powdered sugar, and pure vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chilled whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spoon 1/6 of the mixture into each cup. For a neat presentation, pipe the filling into the jars.
- Refrigerate for 4-6 hours, preferably overnight.
- After chilling, add 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam to each cup.
- Beat the heavy whipping cream again on medium-high speed with powdered sugar and vanilla until thick (about 4 minutes).
- Place the whipped cream into a plastic bag, cut off the tip, and pipe onto each cheesecake cup.
- Top with strawberry slices and chopped dark chocolate if desired.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling and ensure heavy cream is cold for optimal whipping. Don’t overmix the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture. Adjust strawberry jam to taste.
