Time 3h

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup salted butter, at room temperature
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed
½ cup water
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
½ (3 ounce) package strawberry-flavored gelatin (such as Jell-O®)
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Beat butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl until well combined. Add flour and continue to beat until dough comes together and is no longer dry.
  • Press the dough into an 8x8-inch pan, smoothing the surface evenly with your fingers. Prick the dough all over with a fork to allow any steam to escape.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the edges begin to brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth. Fold in whipped topping until combined. Refrigerate while the shortbread cools and you prepare the strawberry topping.
  • Whisk water, sugar, and cornstarch together in a small pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Add gelatin and whisk until incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside to cool, whisking occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on the top.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled shortbread. Top evenly with sliced strawberries then pour gelatin mixture evenly over the strawberries. Refrigerate until set. Cut into squares

NO-BAKE STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 6h

Yield 9 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups shortbread crumbs, from about 1 1/2 5.5-ounce bags of shortbread cookies
2 tablespoons sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups thinly sliced strawberries
3/4 to 1 cup sugar (this depends on your preference of sweetness and the sweetness of your berries)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup sweetened whipped cream (flavored with vanilla)
1 cup sweetened whipped cream (flavored with vanilla)
1 cup blueberries
1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved

Steps:

  • For the cookie crust: Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment, leaving about a 2-inch overhang on all sides.
  • Whisk together the cookie crumbs, sugar and melted butter in a medium bowl until combined. Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Refrigerate until firm, 45 to 60 minutes.
  • For the cheesecake filling: While the cookie crust chills, add the cream cheese, strawberries, sugar and vanilla to a blender. Blend mixture starting at low speed and bring it up to high until smooth. (If needed, use the tamper to push all the ingredients down towards the blades. This will ensure everything is blended evenly and smoothly.) Pour the mixture into a medium bowl. Add half of the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and gently fold in using a rubber spatula. Repeat with remaining whipped cream.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, spread and smooth with a spatula.
  • Freeze the cheesecake for at least 4 hours. Use the parchment overhang to remove cheesecake from the pan and use a hot knife to cut into 9 bars. Keep frozen and put in refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • To serve the bars, place the whipped cream in a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe a rosette of whipped cream on top of each bar. Gently place the blueberries and strawberries on top of the whipped cream. Serve immediately.
