This recipe for No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake is a keeper for all those hot summer days.
Can it really be the end of March already???
This month is flying by.
And it is time for another SRC.
The blog I was assigned this month for the Secret Recipe Club
was Chocolate and Dreams.
I had so much fun going through her blog.
She had so many awesome adventures and pictures to enjoy.
I was in awe of the gorgeous scenery and flowers in her pictures!!!
AND she is amazing in the kitchen too!!!
One day I will make “real” food…
but it is the desserts that speak the most to me!!!
The peach cobbler looked so yummy!
But then so did the chocolate bread pudding.
How do I narrow down the choices?
My kitchen is torn apart,
so that had some say in what recipe I could make this time.
(mainly because I waited until the last weekend to finish this…procrastinate much?)
I decided on the no bake strawberry cheesecakes
mainly because I love strawberry, because I love cheesecake,
and mostly because I love that
this recipe only uses a blender!
Who needs an oven anyway
when you can make fun layered jello desserts in cute jars!!!
I followed the recipe as much as I could,
but there were a few things I didn’t have.
So I substituted with what I could find packed in my boxes.
This will teach me to procrastinate!
Strawberry salad with a pretzel crust is one of our fav summer desserts,
so it just seemed right to have a pretzel crust.
I also modified the ingredient amounts a little bit too,
and added some vanilla.
The end result:
A delicious light dessert in a fun little jar!
It got two thumbs up from all the kids!!!
Make sure you don’t miss any of the crazy baking

- Place the strawberries in a blender and pulse until finely chopped. Add the sugar, yogurt, vanilla and cottage cheese and blend until creamy. Add the gelatin water and blend again.

These are so cute! I love the idea of using cottage cheese and yogurt instead of cream cheese. I’m definitely using these in my healthy kids Parade recipe round up.
