I can not believe that Mother’s Day is this Sunday! Well, today I am sharing a tasty no bake white chocolate cheesecake that would be the perfect dessert for that day. It also includes an amazing roasted strawberry topping.
Now you originally make this cheesecake recipe in a regular pie plate. However, I make it in a 9 inch spring form pan. I think that it is more that rich enough having a serving from the spring form pan. Plus, it serves more and is less calories per serving.
The cheesecake begins with a simple graham cracker crust.
You make it with graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and butter. Then you press the mixture into the spring form pan and then placed in the fridge while you make the filling. There is no need for baking of the crust is, just refrigeration time.
For the filling, you start with cream cheese and powdered sugar.
Just beat together until smooth. Then in a microwave safe bowl, you will add the white chocolate along with some heavy cream. You will microwave it for 30 seconds, then mix together. If it isn’t melted and blend together, then microwave for 15 second increments until it is all melted and combined. Now, you are going to add the white chocolate mixture to the cream cheese mixture along with salt, vinegar, and vanilla. Set this aside.
In another bowl, you are going to whip com heavy cream, vanilla and powdered sugar. Once you beat the cream to firm peaks, you will fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Take the filling and spread it on top of the crust. Then place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
While the cheesecake chills, you are going to make the topping. You will add 2 lbs of strawberries cut into quarters to a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Then you are going to mix in some salt, sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest You will bake this for 30 minutes at 425 degrees. You will want to give it a stir every 10 minutes. Once cooked allow to cool. Then chill and serve on top of the cheesecake. The roasted topping is much easier than cooking one on the stove top and the results are amazing!
