• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 package graham crackers
• 1/4 cup melted butter

2. Mix the Cream Cheese: In another bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
3. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well blended.
4. Prepare the Crust: Mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter and press into the bottom of a serving dish for the first layer.
5. Layer the Cream Cheese: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker layer.
6. Add Strawberries: Add a layer of sliced strawberries on top and sprinkle with half of the white chocolate chips.
7. Repeat Layers: Repeat the process, finishing with a final layer of cream cheese mixture and white chocolate chips.

What to Serve No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Lasagna With:

This delightful cheesecake lasagna pairs wonderfully with a chilled glass of sweet iced tea or a light bubbly soda. You can also serve it alongside fresh fruit salads or even light bites like cucumber sandwiches to balance out the richness.

Top Tips for Perfecting:

• For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture.
• If you’re out of heavy cream, whole milk can be used, but the texture will be slightly different.
• Always allow ample chilling time to help the layers meld together beautifully.
• Avoid overly ripe strawberries, as they can become mushy in the layers.

Storing and Reheating Tips:

To store any leftovers, simply cover tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep your No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Lasagna fresh in the refrigerator for about 3 days. If you decide to freeze it, wrap it well to prevent freezer burn; it can last up to a month. For best results, enjoy it cold (no reheating necessary) to maintain its creamy texture!
