No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
We’re always making new versions of the classic No Bake Cheesecake. It’s one of our family’s favourite recipes, not just because it tastes amazing, but because it’s a fairly low calorie, high protein, low sugar, gluten free, and oh-so creamy. The other cool thing about this recipe is that there is actually no cream cheese in it. Lots of good things going for this one!
So here’s the latest and greatest…the No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake. Oh yah.
There’s just something about fresh strawberries that smacks of spring! Mmm…
This version is lower carb than the other versions. The base of the crust is made with nuts instead of the original graham crust. You can make a sweeter version with the addition of a few dates ground in as well. This dessert is quite low on the glycemic index, so that’s why I skipped out on the dates. This serves 12.
Strawberry No Bake Cheesecake

- 3/4 cup organic flaxseed, ground

**Cool whip is another option here
Directions:
- Melt the coconut oil and mix in the flax seed, ground walnuts (or almonds), and the Truvia.

What a pretty, spring-like dessert! I made something like this 2 years ago for a baby shower and has completely forgotten it. I bet this would be great with mangos too… I’m on a mango kick, can you tell? ;)
Mmmm, cheesecake is always a crowd pleaser! I wonder what I could sub for the egg… :)
I remember making no-bake cheesecakes when I was younger. Peanut butter is always a good one.
Such a pretty, spring-y dessert! I have been loving experimenting with tagatose too. It’s a great sub!
Those strawberries look amazing!
No bake? Made with cottage cheese. YUM! Looks delicious.

Looks delicious! I can’t wait for strawberry season to arrive so I can use fresh berries!
Angela – fresh is always better, but for this recipe we used thawed, frozen berries.

Gelatin scares me but it seems so versatile, so I think I need to get over my fears and incorporate it into my diet :)
