Dessert For Two: Easy Strawberry Cheesecake {No Bake}

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

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?
