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

The sugar that is used in this recipe, is it granulated or confectioners?
Granulated
Hi Lindsey,
If I donโt have nesquik or dried fruits, is it possible to use frozen fruits? Thanks
I would recommend my No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake for using fresh or frozen strawberries.
Just got from the cookout for which I made this recipe. I found out when I got there that I was the only person to bring dessert and boy was everyone upset they only got small portions! Even with the small portions, this was the hit of the party, it was phenomenal! My friends asked me to express their appreciation to you for conceiving of this amazing dessert, THANK YOU!!!
Awesome, Iโm so glad everyone enjoyed it and that you saved the day with dessert! ๐ We always need dessert.
Canโt wait to try this recipe, but I was wondering if the 1/2 cup sugar that is added is granulated or powder? Thanks!
Itโs granulated.
Hey Lindsey!
I love your blog. All the recipes are so simple and the end products are so delicious.
I am from India and we donโt get Nesquick powder here.
Can you tell me some other alternative?
Thanks!
Iโm so glad youโve enjoyed the recipes! One option would be to get some dried strawberries, pop them in a food processor and grind them down to a powder. Iโd suggest a strawberry sauce, but I think the end result wouldnโt be thick enough. Powder is going to work best.
what can a use instead of strawberry nesquik? i canโt find it in buenos aires
Iโm thinking that if you put dried strawberries in a food processor and grind them to a powder, that would work nicely.
Hey I just made this gorgeous cheesecake, followed the recipe word by word, itโs spent 14 hours in the fridge and yet it still isnโt solid, itโs not set quite right. It tastes heavenly though! I woder what I could do to make it set right? Should I put it in the freezer? Thanks in advance!
Hmm, itโs hard to say from afar. It wonโt be as firm as a baked cheesecake, but should be firm enough. You could freeze it and eat it that way.
I have made this a few timesโฆI always freeze itโฆthen it is out for a couple ours til served I also donโt do the cool whip topping and sprinkles til Iโm ready to serve.
I am so bummed I donโt have a springform pan. Do you think I could make this in a pie dish? Thanks!
Yes, it should be fine in a pie pan. Just make sure to use one thatโs a little deeper so that all the filling will fit.
hi lindsey!!
I love the recipes on your blog! Iโm from india and we donโt get nesquick powder here.
So is it possible to use hersheyโs strawberry syrup? if so, how much quantity of syrup can be added?
thanks!
Iโm so glad you enjoy the blog! I havenโt tried it with the syrup. I imagine it would thin out the cheesecake a bit, but Iโm sure itโd taste good. Iโd try 1/4 cup of the syrup and then see if it adds enough flavor. If not, increase from there. If it gets too thin, you could use gelatin to thicken it a bit. I hope that helps!
Thanks alot!
I made this and i loved it โ i added more nesquik though ๐ i was hoping you could tell me what camera you used for the photos? They look so neat!
Iโm so glad you enjoyed it! I use a Canon Rebel T3i camera. Thanks Georgina!
This looks amazing!!! What frosting tip did you use on the whip creme drops? Thank you..I just found you blog today. I am cooking for a lot of football boys this season and printed all your rice crispy bar recipes!!
I believe its the Wilton 1M tip. Iโm glad you found the blog! Just let me know if you have any other questions! ๐
I live in Canada and unfortunately we only have the strawberry nesquik in syrup form, could that be used or maybe some strawberry jello powder or something?? All youre recipes that I have made have been a huge hit, love them!!!
Thanks
Danielle
Thanks Danielle! You could try the syrup, but be careful not to add too much or itโll affect the thickness of the cheesecake. Jello powder might be ok, but a different kind of flavor.
Tried this recipe over the weekend! It was a hit! Thanks for sharing!! ๐
Iโm so glad! Thanks Mia!
That is so pretty and bet itโs yummy also, thanks!
Oh I love this so much! Would love to make it for my nieceโs next birthday! Thanks for posting!
