Deliciously creamy no-bake strawberry cheesecake bars with a graham cracker crust and fresh strawberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened

- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking dish to form the crust.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.

- Make sure to soften the cream cheese for easier mixing.
