Equipment

Mixing Bowl
9-inch pie pan
Small saucepan
Hand Mixer

Ingredients

No Bake Crust

1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs (10 full sheet crackers)
0.25 cups Brown sugar
6 tablespoons Unsalted butter melted

Cheesecake Filling

12 ounces Cream cheese softened
0.33 cups Sour cream
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
0.75 cups Powdered sugar
2 cups Cool Whip whipped topping

Fresh Strawberry Topping

1 pound Fresh strawberries might need more depending on size of strawberries
0.67 cups Sugar
2 tablespoons Cornstarch
1 cup Water
3 ounces Strawberry jello gelatin (with 1 tablespoon removed)
2 tablespoons Corn syrup

Instructions

In a medium bowl mix together graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Dump into a 9” pie pan. Spread in an even layer, then use fingers, or flat-bottomed glass, to press crumbs firmly on bottom and up sides of pan. Chill for 20 minutes.
In a large bowl use a hand mixer to beat together cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and no lumps remain, about 1 minute on high.
Gently fold 2 cups of whipped topping into cream cheese mixture. Evenly spread cheesecake filling in no bake crust. Place back in refrigerator for 1 hour while making strawberry topping.
Wash strawberries, hull, and then place on towels to dry.
In a small saucepan whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to boil, whisking occasionally.
Immediately remove from heat once it begins to boil. Whisk in strawberry jello (with 1 tablespoon removed) and corn syrup. Stir to dissolve and let sit until thickened and cooled, about 1 hour. Stir occasionally while cooling.
Arrange washed, dried, and hulled strawberries, cut side down, on top of cheesecake filling. Spoon cooled strawberry gelatin mixture over fresh strawberries. Return cheesecake to refrigerator for gelatin to set, about 1 hour. Serve cheesecake with remaining whipped topping.

Notes

Store the no-bake strawberry cheesecake in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze slices on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer-safe container, allowing you to enjoy them for up to 1 month.
