This No Bake Strawberry Milkshake Cheesecake might be my favorite cheesecake yet! Strawberry Nesquick always tastes magical when added to desserts, and this cheesecake is no exception! Itโs worth breaking a diet for. I know. I did it.


No Bake Strawberry Milkshake Cheesecake
As you read this (assuming youโre reading it the day it posted), I am on my way to the BlogHer Food Conference in Miami!! I cannot wait! Itโll be so fun to see friends, meet new ones and spend time with my roomie Julianne from Beyond Frosting. We met back in February and she is the best!
Plus, Iโm stoked to be back in South Florida for a few days. Iโve decided itโs my heaven. I love it. The only bummer is that the hubs couldnโt come with me โ he has to work.
I canโt wait to tell you all about the trip when Iโm back. If youโre interested, follow me on instagram โ Iโll be sharing photos all weekend!
But in the meantime, you must make this cheesecake. Every time I take another bite, I canโt stop eating it all over again.
Itโs not as thick as some of the other no bake cheesecakes Iโve shared โ I think because of the Nesquick mix โ so youโll want to make sure to keep it in the fridge right until you serve it. And as much as I dig a thick cheesecake, it doesnโt bother me one bit that this one isnโt as thick.
And the chocolate Oreo crust is the perfect compliment for it. I considered nilla wafers, graham crackers and even golden Oreos, but the chocolate contrasts and compliments the strawberry just like it should.
The hubs has gone totally crazy over this cheesecake. I was told I couldnโt give any away. Thatโs always a good sign.
And honestly, I kind of didnโt want to. Except that Iโm trying to eat better and eating an entire cheesecake doesnโt really go with that goal real well. Bummer. But as much as I hate cutting back on my sweets, fitting into old clothes has been really nice.
Even so, I had more of this cheesecake than I thought I would. I just couldnโt resist.
And because itโs no bake, it is so easy to make. The crust is just Oreo crumbs, melted butter and sprinkles mixed together, then pressed into the bottom of a springform pan.
The filling is mostly cream cheese. Added to it is some sugar, vanilla, strawberry Nesquick powder mix and a little milk to break up the powder and smooth it out.
The Cool Whip that gets added loosens up the cream cheese. You can replace it with homemade whipped cream if youโd like. The recipe I have on the blog would work great, but you might want to add a little more powdered sugar to it, so itโs thicker. Probably about 1/2 a cup for 1 cup of heavy cream.
And thatโs it! Just let it set in the fridge โ I usually leave it overnight. When itโs done, you can add more whipped cream and sprinkles. Donโt the sprinkles just make it so pretty?
Time to get baking! Minus the actual baking part. ๐

This looks amazing! Iโm totally making it next weekend ๐ About how many oreos will it take to get 2 cups?
It should take about 20 Oreos for 2 cups of crumbs. Enjoy it! ๐
I was wondering if you could make this with strawberry milk instead?
And would the recipe change in any way?
There`s someone I want to make this for and he really likes a certain brand of strawberry milk, and I want to use it to make him something he`d like, and this seems perfect.
I donโt think strawberry milk would work well. The cheesecake wouldnโt be thick enough. The powder works because itโs not a liquid.
Could you miss out the mikk if using ready made strawberry milk shake drink?
Thereโs only 1 tbsp of milk, so strawberry or regular wonโt make a big difference. But yes, you could use strawberry milk in place of regular milk.
Iโm wondering how much fresh whipping cream would you use ?
Iโd use about 1 1/4 cups.
Perfectโฆโฆ..Thank You
Your photos are stunning! I love all the colors. And you put sprinkles in your CRUST. Dying.
This is seriously testing my willpower! Iโm trying to eat healthier (and in moderation) too, so this could be a dangerous experimentโฆperhaps Iโll save it for a special occasion โ like a Saturday or something!
Haha! Perfect for a Saturday! ๐
what a beautiful cheesecake, I could eat it with my eyes. Such a refreshing change from the usual! Iโve got to make this. Have a great time at BlogHer; Iโm jealous!
Thanks Katie! Itโs my first BlogHer conference, so Iโm excited!
Have fun at BlogHer! Iโve never baked with strawberry Nesquick before but this cake is making me want to run out right now and get some! And, yes, it is after midnight. Sleeping is for people who arenโt on a mission to make a no-bake cheesecake this instant!! Yum!
Thanks Lindsey! Iโm usually up after midnight too โ and usually baking ๐
I donโt have a spring form pan. Could I do this in another pan? I know it wonโt be a cute, I just want to make sure it will fit. Maybe a 9ร9 or regular pie pan? Please email!!! I want to eat this ASAP! Mmmmmโฆ.
Yes, another pan would be fine. 9ร9 could be a little big. 8ร8 might be better. Either way should be fine, the 9ร9 might just be a thinner cheesecake. If you have a round pan that isnโt springform, you could use that too.
Have fun at BlogHer!! Iโm a wee bit jealous but at least I have this amazing strawberry cheesecake to keep me company. ๐ Because it WILL keep me company. In my belly. Ok Iโm done being weird โ gorgeous cheesecake Lindsay!
haha, thanks Jess! ๐
