Helpful Tips
If you’re new to making no-bake desserts, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in your filling. If you’re short on time, pre-made graham cracker crumbs can be a real lifesaver.
For a citrusy twist, fold in a tablespoon of lemon zest into the cream cheese mixture. Alternatively, swap strawberries for any of your favorite berries for a delightful variation.
Storage Instructions
Store these No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Cups covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They are best enjoyed freshly chilled.

Serve these cheesecake cups with a refreshing mint-infused iced tea or a cup of warm chamomile tea for a relaxing finish. Pair with a simple green salad or fresh fruit platter for a perfect balance.
