This no bake Strawberry Jelly Cheesecake recipe makes a great dessert for your next event! It is based on my favourite Jelly Slice recipe with delicious addition of strawberry pieces mixed through the top Jelly layer. This easy dessert can be made ahead of time, making it a perfect dish when planning a celebration. Both regular and Thermomix instructions included.
My Mum has been making this Strawberry Jelly Cheesecake recipe for all our special occasions (including Christmas!) for years now and it’s one of our families favourite desserts. It’s essentially a no bake Lemon Cheesecake recipe which has sliced strawberries and strawberry jelly added to the top – yum!
Why you will love this recipe:
- No Bake – no oven is required to make this recipe!
- Make in advance – you can make this cheesecake up to three days before you need it.
- Perfect Christmas Dessert.
Although this Strawberry Jelly Cheesecake looks like it might be tricky to make, it really is quite simple. Yes it does take a little time to put the different layers together, but there is nothing complicated about this recipe at all – and best of all it’s just like a pimped up version of my Jelly Slice recipe!
Tips for Making This Recipe:
- It’s best to make this recipe the day before you need it, that way you are not rushing each step and it has plenty of time to chill in the fridge and set perfectly.
- I also suggest that when it’s time to add the jelly to your cheesecake, pop the springform tin onto a baking tray to help make it a bit easier to move in and out of the fridge, as the last thing you want is jelly splashing everywhere.
- The time it takes to combine the cream cheese with the other ingredients will be impacted by the temperature, if your cream cheese is still firm it will take longer.
- To help the strawberries stay in place while transferring the cheesecake back to the fridge, I suggest pushing them slightly into the top of the cream cheese layer before adding the jelly.
- You can omit the fresh strawberries if you wish.
- This cheesecake is best stored in the fridge and enjoyed within five days.
- This recipe is not freezer friendly.
