Looking for a cold summer dessert that’s no-bake and super easy? These Strawberry Cheesecake Icebox Bars are made with just 3 ingredients and come together in 5 minutes—no oven, no mixer, no sweat. They’re the ultimate make-ahead dessert for hot days, backyard BBQs, or when your sweet tooth can’t wait. 🍓 Born from a Meltdown (Literally) There I was—sweating over a cheesecake I stupidly thought I could bake in July. The oven heated my whole apartment like a toaster. That’s when I swore off baking until September and whipped together a no-cook version using cream cheese, strawberry jam, and graham crackers. The result? These glorious cold bars that taste like summer vacation in every bite. 🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need 🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions Step 1: Mix Cream Cheese and Jam In a medium bowl, stir softened cream cheese and jam until smooth and pink. Use a fork or silicone spatula—no need for a mixer. > Affiliate Tip: This mini silicone spatula set is perfect for scraping every last bit out of the jar. Step 2: Layer with Graham Crackers Line a small 8×8 pan with parchment. Lay down a layer of graham crackers (break to fit). Spread half the cream cheese mixture, add another cracker layer, then the rest of the mixture. Step 3: Garnish and Freeze Crumble a few graham crackers on top for crunch. Add fresh strawberries or a dollop of whipped cream if you’re feeling fancy. Step 4: Freeze or Chill For bars: Freeze for 1–2 hours, then slice.For spoonable dessert: Chill for 4+ hours and serve cold with a spoon. ❄️ Why These Bars Work 🙋‍♀️ Reader FAQs 🔗 Internal Links to other favourites > Love no-bake desserts?
