No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Pie

This easy no bake Strawberry Cheesecake Pie is made with two luscious layers of cheesecake filling. One of which is packed full of sweet diced Florida strawberries.

During the months of January and February Florida Strawberries are in the peak of the Florida strawberry growing season.

We love strawberries and enjoy them all year long but during the winter months when there is an over abundance of fresh Florida strawberries I buy them at almost every visit to the store.

We eat them straight from the container or I include them in a strawberry recipe.

I stock up when the prices are low and freeze them and enjoy months after strawberry season is over.

One of my favorite things to do with fresh Florida strawberries is to take a plain vanilla cupcake and fill them with a homemade strawberry sauce.

If you’ve never tasted a vanilla cupcake filled with a fresh homemade strawberry filling you need to try it asap! It is delicious.

This months featured produce on the Fresh from Florida site are strawberries of course. #FreshfromFlorida is featuring a delicious Stuffed Florida Strawberry recipe made with Florida Strawberries

I have been dying to try stuffed strawberries and plan to try the featured recipe soon but I decided to make this easy No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Pie instead.

I love no bake pies. They are easy to make, taste delicious and you don’t have to worry about heating up the kitchen to make one.

Be sure to check out the Fresh from Florida website for more delicious recipes using in season Fresh from Florida produce. Each month there are two new featured recipes and you can find a large archive of recipes featuring Florida produce.

How to make a No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Pie

This No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Pie starts out with a graham cracker crust. I made mine from scratch but you could also use a premade graham cracker crust from the store.

This No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Pie has three delectable creamy layers. All you need to make this No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Pie is a graham cracker crust, cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, cool whip, a fresh lime, a small amount of sugar and some sweet Florida strawberries.

Full recipe instructions are below and can be printed.

First you’ll beat the ingredients together to make a cheesecake filling.
You will then divide the cheesecake filling and spread some in the bottom of the crust.
Next you’ll fold in some cool whip to the remaining cheesecake filling.
Then fold in some chopped strawberries.
Spread that layer over the cheesecake layer in the pie pan.
Now spread and mound more cool whip over the first two layers.
Chill, garnish with sliced strawberries and serve.

You can’t get much easier then that when it comes to making a pie. All the mixing and beating is done in one bowl so cleanup is easy.

Buy Fresh from Florida Strawberries

To be sure that you are buying the freshest Florida strawberries look for the Fresh from Florida sign in your grocer’s produce department. You can’t miss it. It’s the sign with a big sun on it.

If you are in Florida and shopping at a local Farmers Market be sure to keep an eye out for strawberries grown in Plant City. They are the best strawberries you will ever taste. I found these gorgeous Plant City Strawberries at the Lakes Park Farmers Market in Lee County, Florida.
