Creamy
No-Bake Strawberry Desserts Recipe
Like
the Creamy No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecakes,
these are light, dreamy, and scrumptious. But we prefer these partially
frozen so that they are ice-cold and almost like ice cream.
They are made with
vanilla wafers, a strawberry cheesecake filling, and topped with whipped
cream.
Ingredients
1 cup mashed strawberries
from fresh berries
1 8-ounce package of light cream cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/3 cup
heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon
pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup powdered
sugar
about 45 vanilla
wafer cookies
halved strawberries
for decoration
Directions
Makes about 15 desserts.
Recipe can be cut in half.
1. Mash the strawberries
measure out until you have one cup. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl,
whip the cream cheese until soft. Add the strawberries and whip until
smooth. Add the 1/2 cup powdered sugar and blend.
3. Beat the whipping
cream until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla and 1/3 cup powdered sugar
and continue beating until medium stiff peaks form.
4. Use foil cupcake
liners with the paper cup removed. Place two cookies in the bottom of
each cup. Place a large spoonful of strawberry filling in each cup on
top of the cookies.
5. Place a third cookie on top of the strawberry filling and press down
slightly. Top with whipped cream.
6. Place the muffin tin in the freezer for two hours or until almost
frozen.
7. Remove and decorate with strawberry halves if desired.
Baker’s
note: Because these deserts are moist, paper liners
tend to become soggy. Foil liners hold up better.
This dessert
does not have to be frozen; it can be served soft. If so, refrigerate
for at least two hours to allow the filling to become firmer. (It will
still be soft.)
If you leave
the muffin tin in the freezer and the desserts become frozen, that’s
okay. Let them thaw for fifteen minutes so they are only partially frozen.
