Tips for making No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe:
It’s really helpful to use a 2 tablespoon portion scoop to add the graham cracker crust to the jars. It helps keep everything uniform and makes it all very quick. I also recommend using a tart shaper to firmly press crust into the bottom of the jar. It helps pack the crust down. Both of these tools make this recipe even easier. If you don’t have them, I would suggest getting them because you can use them for so many different things. I use the cookie scoop for meatballs as well.
I have been wanting to try this Easy Lemon Tart so the tart shaper will be perfect for that recipe too.
This No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake in a Jar does not disappoint!
It will be the hit of the party. It’s fun to display them on pretty glass pedestals or cake stands. So cute! I also love these tiered galvanized trays. Perfect for parties and other celebrations. There are so many ways to serve these and display them. Use your imagination and have fun! This is a gorgeous dessert and tasty too!
Also, you can make a traditional strawberry cheesecake but making this graham cracker crust recipe and filling it in with the cream cheese mixture. Whichever way that you decide to make this recipe, I know it’s going to be hit!
