Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- Extra strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter, mixing thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand and can hold its shape when pressed.
- Evenly distribute the graham cracker mixture into 6 individual serving glasses or ramekins, pressing firmly with the back of a spoon to create a compact base layer. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, continuing to mix until fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the coconut cream, stirring carefully to maintain the mixture's airy texture. Mix until completely smooth and well combined.
- Layer sliced fresh strawberries over the graham cracker base in each serving glass.
- Carefully spoon the cream cheese and coconut mixture over the strawberry layer, filling each glass about 3/4 full.
- Smooth the top of each cheesecake with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 2-3 hours or until firm and chilled.
- Before serving, garnish with additional fresh strawberry slices and optionally sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your no-bake strawberry coconut cheesecakes!
Tips
- Ensure your cream cheese is completely softened at room temperature for the smoothest, lump-free filling.
- Chill your serving glasses before assembling to help the layers set faster and more efficiently.
- For extra texture, lightly toast your coconut flakes before garnishing to enhance their nutty flavor.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the most vibrant taste and color.
- For a cleaner presentation, use a piping bag to layer your cream cheese mixture for perfectly smooth tops.
- These cheesecakes can be prepared a day in advance, making them perfect for entertaining.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, you can reduce the powdered sugar slightly or use a sugar substitute.
