These No Bake Strawberry Cheesecakes are perfect for a date night dessert.

Dessert For Two: Strawberry Cheesecake In A Cup {No Bake}

We made it to another Friday! This week has been super crazy for us and I knew I was going to want need something special to start off my weekend. Yesterday I was over at Creative Ramblings sharing 10 Tips On How To Insource Your Life. If you aren’t familiar with the term, it’s basically the idea of  no longer outsourcing our lives. Stop having other people do for us what we can do for ourselves. One area that I personally feel that I am fairly good at insourcing is creating our favorite restaurant treats at home. You may remember my Take-Out Inspired Sesame Chicken from a few weeks ago, or my all time favorite Copy-Cat Chili’s Honey Chipotile Chicken. 

After having a nasty stomach bug and dealing with high spirited boys all week I knew I was going to want something sweet. I started thinking about what I would like and almost instantly The Cheesecake Factory came to mind. It was where my husband and I use to go on our date nights before we had kids. And we ALWAYS got cheesecake. Going out to eat isn’t as enjoyable when you have two kids under 3; and since we are insourcing our lives I knew I could create my favorite treat at home.

I didn’t want to make a whole cheesecake because I knew we wouldn’t eat it all. Ah, who am I kidding, I didn’t want to make a whole cheesecake because I knew I WOULD eat it all in one day. So when I found these cute glasses at Target’s Dollar Spot I knew they would be perfect to make our weekend treat in. These cheesecakes are so easy to make and require absolutely no baking. So if you’ve had a rough week, or just love you some cheesecake, give this recipe a try!

These were just as good as The Cheesecake Factory but they cost a fraction of the price (Around $1 each to make) and I didn’t have to brave the crowds with two little ones. I love creating YOUR favorite recipes; what is the one recipe from a restaurant that you wish you could make at home?

    Oh how I LOVE the cheesecake factory but they’re so expensive! These look so yummy, sans strawberries though because I’m allergic. I bet this would be good with raspberries or blueberries, too!

    Good idea to only make a small amount. I am with you, I’d eat an entire cheesecake if I made it.

    Thanks for sharing on Tasty Tuesdays. I hope you’ll be back next week.

    No-bake is a magic term to me. I am not the most skilled person in the kitchen, so the easier the better.
    That cheesecake looks fantastic! I should try it one of these days. With summer coming, it is awesome to great to have good excuses to have strawberry. 😉 #SITS

    I love no bake things, especially when it’s this hot outside, you don’t want to add to the heat by cooking in the kitchen too much. And who doesn’t love cheesecake and strawberries!

    I am definitely going to be making these. My husband loves no bake cheesecake or any cheesecake at all for that matter. Plus I love how they are single serve and won’t cause you to make a whole cheesecake and then tempt me to eat it all and not waste it. Thanks so much for sharing at Motivational Monday! I can’t wait to see what you have to share next week too.
