These creamy no-bake strawberry cheesecake cookies combine the lusciousness of cheesecake with fresh strawberries in a soft, dreamy cookie that’s quick and easy to make without an oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets, finely crushed)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon strawberry jam

Instructions

  1. Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin and place into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add granulated sugar and melted butter to the graham cracker crumbs and stir until evenly combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out portions of the base mixture and press lightly into cookie shapes about 2 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, airy texture.
  7. Fold the finely chopped fresh strawberries and optional strawberry jam into the creamy filling.
  8. Spoon a generous dollop of the creamy strawberry filling onto each chilled graham cracker base and smooth the top gently.
  9. Return the tray to the refrigerator and chill the assembled cookies for at least 2 hours or until the filling firms up.
  10. Remove cookies from the fridge about 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Optionally garnish with a small strawberry slice or mint leaf.

Notes

Softening cream cheese to room temperature is essential to avoid lumps. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream to achieve soft peaks. Fold whipped cream gently to maintain airy texture. Chill cookie bases before adding filling to keep shape. For faster setting, freeze assembled cookies for 30 minutes then thaw before serving. Use fresh strawberries for best flavor and pat dry if watery.
