Looking for a delicious refreshing and super quick summer recipe? These no bake strawberry lemon mini cheesecakes are perfect for that summer season when fresh strawberries are everywhere.
Adding a bit of lemon makes the strawberries shine even more. I could eat this no bake cheesecake recipe every day.
For making this easy recipe you will need the following ingredients:
Making these mini cheesecakes cannot be easier. It’s a matter of crumbling your digestive biscuits, adding them to a few cute glasses or small bowls and making your cheesecake mix.
For that you take a medium bowl and add cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest. Spoon the heavy cream in once whipped and fold it through.
Keep mixing until you have a smooth mixture. The last step is to add the strawberry pieces in.
The strawberry mixture is then divided over the glasses. I place it in the fridge for at least an hour. That firms the mixture and will make it taste even more like real cheesecake, but it is not an absolute necessity.
So if you’re stretched for time and want to dive right in? You can.
EXPERT TIP: When cleaning your strawberries with water, do so before removing the crowns. Otherwise, the strawberries will absorb the water and lose some of their flavor. You can then easily remove the crowns with a strawberry crown remover or a small pairing knife.
This is one of those recipes that is perfect to prepare in advance. You can store them in the fridge for about 3-4 days but they are still best served the day you make them.
If you want to prepare for a dinner party, make them in the afternoon or morning and enjoy in the evening.
Absolutely. In order to do so it is best to let them defrost completely and drain excess fluid. Frozen strawberries are soft and much more wet. You can also use a strawberry compote or combine strawberries with other fruits.
If you want to make the strawberry mini cheesecakes a bit lighter you can replace the cream cheese partially with a bit of Greek yogurt. Or switch the heavy cream to sour cream. The flavor will absolutely change if you do that so make sure to taste test before serving.
No, you don’t need any equipment although a hand mixer might come in handy for mixing it into a smooth filling, but folding it with a spatula usually works fine.
