Ingredients
- Graham cracker crumbs – 2 cups
These form the base layer, adding a lovely crunch. For extra flavor, you can lightly toast the crumbs before using them. - Butter – 1/2 cup (melted)
Holds the graham cracker crumbs together, creating a firm crust. Make sure it’s fully melted to blend easily. - Cream cheese – 16 oz (softened)
This forms the rich, creamy cheesecake layer. Leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes to make blending easier. - Powdered sugar – 1 cup
Sweetens the cream cheese without adding graininess. Sift it before mixing for an ultra-smooth filling. - Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
Adds a subtle warmth and depth to the cheesecake filling. - Whipped topping – 2 cups (like Cool Whip)
Makes the cheesecake layer fluffy and light. Fold gently to keep it airy. - Strawberry pie filling – 1 can (21 oz)
Adds a sweet, tangy berry flavor that’s simply irresistible. Use a spoon to spread it in an even layer. - Fresh strawberries – 1 cup (sliced)
For garnish. Adds a fresh, juicy burst on top and makes it look beautiful!
How to Make No-Bake Berry Cheesecake Lasagna
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan to create an even layer for the crust. Chill in the fridge while preparing the next layers.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Layer
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until fully blended. Carefully fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 3: Assemble the Layers
Spread half of the cheesecake mixture over the chilled crust. Then, spoon the strawberry pie filling over the cheesecake layer, spreading it evenly. Follow with the remaining cheesecake mixture, smoothing it to cover the berry layer completely.
Step 4: Chill and Garnish
Refrigerate the lasagna for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors meld. Just before serving, top with fresh sliced strawberries for a pop of color and extra berry flavor.
