60 minutes

No-bake cheesecake is the embodiment of tenderness and elegance in American cuisine. Its history dates back to the 20th century when chefs sought ways to create an airy dessert without using an oven. This version is especially popular for its simplicity and rich creamy flavor with vibrant fruit notes. The crunchy cookie crust perfectly complements the creamy texture of the filling made from cream cheese and whipped cream, creating harmony in taste. Strawberry puree with lime adds a refreshing tang and sophistication, while the marbled pattern makes the dessert not only delicious but also visually appealing. The cheesecake is chilled to perfection and served with fresh strawberries, making it a wonderful choice for festive occasions and romantic evenings.
