Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 cup strawberry puree
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Gather 1 cup of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 cup of whipped cream, 1 cup of strawberry puree, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and graham cracker crumbs.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
- Once the cream cheese and sugar are well combined, add the vanilla extract to the mixture. Continue to mix until the vanilla is fully incorporated.
- Next, gently fold in the whipped cream. Use a spatula to carefully incorporate the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring you maintain the light and airy texture of the whipped cream.
- After the whipped cream is fully incorporated, add the strawberry puree to the mixture. Fold it in gently until the puree is evenly distributed, creating a beautiful pink color throughout the cheesecake filling.
- Now, prepare your serving dishes or cups. Start by adding a layer of graham cracker crumbs at the bottom of each dish. This will serve as the crust for your dessert.
- Once the crust layer is ready, spoon the strawberry cheesecake mixture on top of the graham cracker crumbs. Fill each dish evenly, leaving some space at the top for additional toppings if desired.
- For an extra touch, you can add more graham cracker crumbs on top of the cheesecake layer or garnish with fresh strawberries or additional strawberry puree.
- Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow it to set slightly before serving. This will enhance the flavors and make it more enjoyable.
- Once chilled, serve your Strawberry Cheesecake Pudding Dessert and enjoy this delightful, no-bake treat!
Tips
- Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for the smoothest, lump-free mixture.
- When folding in whipped cream, use a gentle, bottom-to-top motion to maintain its airy texture.
- For an extra luxurious touch, use freshly whipped cream instead of store-bought.
- Chill your serving dishes beforehand to help the dessert set faster and stay cool.
- For a more intense strawberry flavor, use homemade strawberry puree from fresh, ripe strawberries.
- Experiment with different graham cracker variations, like chocolate or cinnamon, for a unique twist.
- Make this dessert ahead of time - it actually tastes even better after sitting in the refrigerator for a few hours!
