No-Bake Strawberry Banana Cheesecake
Ingredients:
Crust:
1¼ cups graham cracker crumbs (approximately 9-10 crackers)
¼ cup packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons melted butter
Cheesecake Filling:
16 ounces softened cream cheese
1 (3-ounce) package strawberry-banana Jello
1 (1.34-ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix
½ cup granulated sugar
16 ounces thawed frozen whipped topping
Additional:
1 banana
4-5 strawberries, sliced
Directions:
Crust:
Pulverize the graham crackers in a food processor until fine.
Combine graham cracker crumbs with brown sugar and melted butter until well mixed.
Firmly press the mixture into a pie plate along the bottom and up the sides.
Freeze the crust until firm and ready for filling.
Filling:
5. In a large bowl, whip the cream cheese until creamy.
Incorporate the granulated sugar, strawberry-banana Jello, and vanilla pudding mix until well blended.
Fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is even and smooth.
Arrange banana slices on the prepared crust.
Evenly spread the cheesecake filling over the banana layer.
Adorn the top with strawberry slices as per the provided image.
Completion:
11. Refrigerate the cheesecake, covered, for a minimum of 2 hours to set before serving.
Additional Notes:
Arrange the strawberry slices neatly on top as depicted.
Optionally, add a strawberry glaze for a glossy finish, although this recipe does not include one.
The finished cheesecake should be smooth and creamy with a crust that maintains its shape when cut.
