How to make this Strawberry Cheesecake with pretzel crust
You’re going to start by making the crust. To do this, you need to add your pretzel sticks to the food processor.
Once they are crushed, add them and the butter and brown sugar into a bowl and mix together until the pretzel pieces are coated together really well.
Next, take and press down the pretzel mixture into the very bottom of a 9×13 pan.
Once that is done, grab another large mixing bowl and combine the whipping cream, vanilla, salt, crease cheese, and sugar. Use your mixer and beat together until it is creamy and smooth.
Take that creamy mixture and put it on top of the pretzel crust. Smooth it out so it’s nice and uniform.
Once done, top with the fresh strawberries and blueberries. Use the chocolate and drizzle on top of that.
Pop it into the fridge and let it chill at least 2 hours.
Tips for making this No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
Since this recipe is so simple, there really are not a ton of other tips to add. BUT there is one that is super important to keep in mind.
Make certain that the cream cheese is at room temperature when you start to blend it with the other ingredients. This is because you want the middle mixture to be as smooth and creamy as possible. If it’s not at room temperature, there’s a chance that it’s going to have lumps.
Can this no bake cheesecake be frozen?
It sure can. Make it up entirely and just pop it in the freezer. This is a super simple way to have a delicious dessert on hand anytime the craving strikes. Just be certain to have an airtight lid on it so it doesn’t get freezer-burnt.
What are some other fun toppings to add to this pretzel crust cheesecake recipe?
Toppings are literally the best. If you have fresh cherries, those would be a great choice, too. And if you want to skip the fruit altogether, you could easily top with chocolate chips and drizzle with caramel sauce as well.
Because no matter what toppings you decide to use, the middle section of the cheesecake is going to taste good with anything that you choose.
Ingredient Prep
Since this recipe is so easy, all you really have to worry about prepping is the fresh fruit. Make certain to wash off the blueberries and the strawberries so that they’re clean and ready to go.
