If you need a knockout dessert and you don’t want to turn on the oven, this is the one.
Beat cream cheese until fluffy, blend in a can of sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and vanilla, then pour it into a graham cracker crust. Three hours in the fridge and the filling sets into something dense, creamy, and almost cheesecake-like.
The crown of fresh whole strawberries drizzled with glossy strawberry glaze is what makes it a showpiece. Every slice reveals that thick cream cheese layer topped with glistening red berries.
Chef Tips
- Bring the cream cheese to full room temperature before beating for a lump-free, silky filling
- The lemon juice is what sets the filling; don’t reduce the amount or it won’t firm up properly
- Arrange strawberries pointed-end up in tight concentric circles for the most impressive presentation
- Chill for at least 3 hours; overnight gives the cleanest slices
