Strawberry Cheesecake Lasagna

An easy no-bake layered dessert recipe with graham crackers, cheesecake filling and fresh strawberries.

From time to time I can’t figure out what to call stuff so I start asking people what they think. But it’s like picking out baby names. You have one you’re kinda leaning toward and the first person you ask is like, “Ugh, that was the name of the crazy old lady who lived across the street from me that smelled like mildew and beat my cat with wire hangers.”

And you’re like, well there goes that name.

The same happens with recipe names. You get, “Gross! No! That makes me think of boiled garbage!” And then you’re shocked because you really liked the name but now you can’t use it because now it makes you think of boiled garbage.

I narrowed this one down to two options and very hesitantly asked on the facebook page which one y’all liked best. Turns out you like them both! And there was only a slight smattering of negative baby-name-changing type feedback.

It came down to 'Strawberry Cream Cheese Icebox Cake' and Strawberry Cheesecake Lasagna. For several years I went with Strawberry Cream Cheese Icebox Cake as the official name then started noticing I called it Strawberry Cheesecake Lasagna at home.

So... UPDATE: I'm officially changing the same to Strawberry Cheesecake Lasagna here on the blog but you can call it whatever makes you happy!!

This is an easy layered dessert with graham crackers, a no-bake cheesecake filling and fresh strawberries. It's crazy easy to assemble and always a crowd pleaser!

Feel free to switch up the fruit! You can make this with blueberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges or any combination you like! Enjoy!

An easy no-bake layered dessert recipe with graham crackers, cheesecake filling and fresh strawberries.

ingredients:

• 2 pounds strawberries
• 2 sleeves graham crackers
• 1 8-oz. package cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 small (4-serving) packages instant cheesecake flavored pudding
• 3 cups milk
• 1 12-ounce carton cool whip, divided

instructions:

How to cook Strawberry Cheesecake Lasagna

1. Clean and slice strawberries (about 1/4 inch thick); set aside. You have to do this first because the cream cheese mixture will start to set up quickly once it’s mixed up.
2. Line the bottom of a 3-quart 13x9 baking dish with graham crackers; set aside. Mine easily fits 6 whole crackers then I had to break up a 7th one to fill in the rest. Save a few pieces to crumble for garnish later.
3. Combine cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl then beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
4. Add pudding mixes and milk then continue mixing on low for 4-5 minutes or until mixture starts to thicken.
5. Fold in 2 cups cool whip until smooth.
6. Pour half of cream cheese mixture over graham crackers. Arrange a single layer of strawberry slices over cream cheese mixture.
7. Top strawberries with another layer of graham crackers then cover with remaining cream cheese mixture. Top cream cheese mixture with another layer of strawberries.
8. Cover and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.
9. When ready to serve, top with remaining cool whip. Crush remaining graham crackers and sprinkle crumbs over cool whip.

NOTES:

The strawberries can put off a little moisture after sitting in the fridge all day. If this happens, blot the moisture from the strawberries with a clean paper towel before topping with cool whip and graham cracker crumbs.
You can use white chocolate or vanilla pudding if you can't find cheesecake flavor.
