Strawberry Cream Cheesecake is a make-ahead friendly, no-bake recipe with layers of cheesecake, pudding and cream on top of a quick and easy crust

Strawberry Cream Cheesecake is the perfect make-ahead dessert. Although the fresh Strawberries on top should only be added right before serving.

I am still on a strawberry high, as you can see ! But this time it is  the creamiest cream dessert I have had in a long time.

This Cheesecake is just that ! Delicious crust, with a creamy Cheesecake layer, followed by a Strawberry pudding and topped with whipped Cream and fresh Strawberries.

I would definitely recommend this as a Valentines Day dessert, or for that matter any special occasion.

Heart sprinkles can be added for Valentines Day, tiny pink pearls for Mother’s Day, or you can simply leave the Cheesecake with only the Strawberries as decoration.

Every year, as soon as fresh Strawberries hit our store shelves, this Creamy Cheesecake is one of the first desserts I make.

Obviously I do not make the Cheesecake only on special occasions ! But my family loves it, and it is always welcome on our dessert menu.

The Strawberry Cream Cheesecake also has no strange or expensive ingredients. And you can make it a day in advance, only leave the fresh Strawberries until you are ready to serve.
