No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe:

This is a great make-ahead cake that is perfect for Summer. It comes together quickly, looks beautiful and tastes amazing.

Watch everyone eyes light up when you set your Strawberry Cheesecake on the dessert table. It's perfect for baby showers, birthdays, picnics, potlucks, bridal showers, you name it!

How to Freeze a No-Bake Cheesecake:

This cake is the ultimate dessert because it's freezer friendly! To freeze a no-bake cheesecake, wrap in several layers of plastic wrap and place in the freezer. Thaw at room temperature for at least 3 hours for easier slicing. When it's still partially frozen, the taste and texture is like an ice cream cake and best of all – it doesn't melt all over the place when it's thawed.

Since the cake has fresh strawberry puree in it, if you aren't going to eat it within 1-3 days, it's best to freeze it then thaw before serving.

How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake:

Watch the video tutorial below and you will see how easy it is to make a great no-bake strawberry cheesecake. BONUS: there's no need to heat your oven and all you need is a hand mixer and blender or food processor, a 9-inch springform pan and a sieve for straining.

1. Oil a springform pan and line sides with parchment paper.
2. Mix together graham cracker crumbs with butter and sugar and press into the bottom of springform and chill.
3. Puree strawberries and strain. Discard the seeds.
4. Beat together cream cheese and sugar. Blend in heavy cream then Mascarpone.
5. Blend in strawberry puree then lemon juice.
6. Bloom then melt gelatin and gradually beat into filling.
7. Pour mixture over chilled crust, cover and refrigerate (or freeze).

How to Bloom Gelatin:

To bloom unflavored gelatin, you will need 1/4 cup water for every 7 grams or 1 packet of gelatin powder (or 1/2 cup for 14 grams gelatin). Pour the water into a bowl and sprinkle the top evenly with gelatin. Let sit 5 minutes at room temperature. The gelatin will absorb the water and "bloom" or grow in size.

Once its bloomed, heat it in the microwave for about 30 seconds, stirring every 10 seconds. Stir and heat until gelatin is completely dissolved. If you see any pieces of gelatin, scrape them against the side of the bowl with a spoon to break it up for easier dissolving.
