    Ingredients for no bake strawberry cheesecake bars - strawberries, powdered sugar in a bowl, a plate containing two blocks of cream cheese and one stick of butter, a cutting board with graham crackers
    Strawberry season is the perfect time to make this no bake summer dessert.

    • graham crackers
    • fresh strawberries
    • powdered sugar

    🔪Instructions

    To make the crust:

    1. Spray and line an 8x8 baking pan.
    2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well combined.

    To make the cheesecake:

    3. Transfer the mashed strawberries to a fine-mesh strainer and press the strawberries into the strainer allowing the juice to drip into a bowl below. This should make 3 to 4 tablespoons of strawberry juice. Discard strawberry pulp and seeds.
    4. Using an electric mixer with a large bowl, cream together the room temperature cream cheese, and vanilla, adding 1 cup powdered sugar slowly on medium speed until smooth. Pour in strawberry juice and mix just until combined.
