This beautiful Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake has a shortcake crust, no bake vanilla cheesecake filling and LOADS of strawberries! It combines three of my favorite things – cake, strawberries and cheesecake – into a sweet and refreshing dessert that you’ll love!

Easy Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake

If you’ve been reading the blog for a while, then you know I love strawberries. They’ve been my favorite fruit since I was a kid. So naturally, I love whipping up everything from a classic Strawberry Shortcake to a fancy Strawberry Shortcake Cake. This Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake is a twist on a classic that you won’t be able to resist! I’m truly in love!

This simple yet impressive dessert is the ultimate strawberry showcase. With a soft layer of shortcake on the bottom, you get the full strawberry shortcake experience layered right into a creamy cheesecake! And there are fresh, juicy strawberries decorating the outside edge, inside the cheesecake itself and piled high on top along with plenty of homemade strawberry sauce. It’s just so light and refreshing – pure berry bliss!

What You’ll Need

This dessert has a few different components that make it so irresistible, and they all keep things super simple! Here’s what you should have on hand for each one:

For the Shortcake

  • Flour: All purpose flour here.
  • Sugar: Granulated.
  • Baking Powder & Baking Soda: You’ll need a teaspoon and a half of baking powder, plus half a teaspoon of baking soda to supplement it.
  • Butter: Salted.
  • Heavy Cream

For the Strawberry Sauce

  • Water: Just a tablespoon.
  • Pureed Strawberries: Just pop the strawberries into a food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
  • Sugar: Granulated.
  • Cornstarch: To thicken it up into a sauce-like consistency.

For the Cheesecake Filling & Whipped Topping

  • Heavy Cream: You’ll need some for the filling and some for the topping.
  • Powdered Sugar: Some for each with this too!
  • Vanilla: For great flavor.
  • Cream Cheese: Bring to room temperature.
  • Sugar: Granulated.
  • Strawberries

How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake

The dense, crumbly cake with the fresh, sweet berries and the smooth, creamy cheesecake is just as perfect as you’d expect. It incorporates all the flavors of a good strawberry shortcake into a super fun and delicious cheesecake. You seriously won’t want to share! Now let’s get into how it all comes together.

Make the Shortcake Layer

For the homemade shortcake, I went straight to the experts – Driscoll’s. I borrowed their Favorite Strawberry Shortcake Recipe, and boy is it easy to make! Even easier than a cake.

  1. Prep for Baking: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place a circle of parchment paper into the bottom of a 9-inch springform cake pan and grease the sides.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda in the bowl of a food processor.
  3. Add Butter: Add the butter and mix in the food processor until combined. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.
  4. Add Heavy Cream: Slowly add heavy cream and pulse in the food processor until just moistened.
  5. Knead Dough: Gather the dough into a ball. The mixture will still be crumbly and loose. Gently knead the dough on a non-stick surface until just smooth, about five turns.
  6. Bake: Press the dough into an even layer in the springform pan. Bake it for about 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
  7. Let Cool: Remove the cake from the oven and carefully take it out of the cake pan. Allow it to cool on a cooling rack.

Make the Strawberry Sauce

This sauce is delicious and you could even double it, if you want extra sauce for drizzling and serving.

  1. Combine Sugar, Cornstarch & Puree: Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Stir in the strawberry puree and water.
  2. Cook: Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
  3. Remove From Heat: Allow the sauce to boil for 1 minute, then remove it from the heat.
  4. Let Cool: Let the sauce cool completely

Make the Filling

While the shortcake cools, we’re going to shift our focus to the creamy cheesecake layer and the light whipped topping. The combination of flavors and textures is spot on!

  1. Prep Pan: To prepare the springform pan for the cheesecake, wash it (from baking the shortcake), spray with non-stick spray and reassemble with the shortcake in the bottom of the pan. Line the inside edge of the pan (between the pan and the shortcake) with parchment paper to help the cheesecake not stick to the sides of the pan and to make sure that the filling doesn’t end up higher than the sides of the pan.
  2. Add Strawberries to Sides: Slice 6-10 strawberries that are about the same size and place them around the outer edge of the shortcake. They should be pressed against the inside of the springform pan, standing on top of the shortcake. Set prepared pan aside.
  3. Make Filling: Add the cream cheese and sugar to a large mixing bowl and beat until well combined and smooth. Set aside. Add the whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl and whip on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in 2 parts, gently folding until well combined. Set aside.
  4. Add Some Filling to Pan: Spread about 1/2 cup of the cheesecake filling on top of the shortcake and spread into a thin layer.
  5. Add Strawberries to Filling: Cut the green tops off of another 18-24 strawberries. Arrange the strawberries top-down on top of the thin cheesecake layer. Leave some space between each of the strawberries so that they aren’t touching and cheesecake can be added to fill in the space. The number of strawberries you use will depend on how big they are and how closely you place them.
  6. Finish Adding Filling: Drop remaining cheesecake filling on top of the strawberries in spoonfuls, making sure it fills in all the spaces. Spread the remaining cheesecake evenly over the strawberries. Depending on the size of the berries, they might poke through the top of the cheesecake a bit – that’s okay.
  7. Cool: Refrigerate cheesecake until firm, about 4-5 hours.

Final Assembly

This motherlode of a cake wouldn’t be complete without a bunch more strawberries piled on top. Here’s how to put it all together so you can do just that!

  1. Prep Platter: Once the cheesecake is firm, remove from spring form pan and place on serving platter.
  2. Make Whipped Cream: To make the whipped cream, add the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixer bowl and whip on high speed until stiff peaks form. 
  3. Pipe Whipped Cream: Pipe the whipped cream around the outer top edge of the cheesecake.
  4. Add Strawberries on Top: Slice the remaining strawberries and arrange on top of the cheesecake, inside the whipped cream. Top with the cooled strawberry sauce.
  5. Refrigerate and Serve: Refrigerate until ready to serve. Cheesecake is best stored in an air tight container in the fridge and eaten within 3-4 days (the length that it’s good for may depend on your particular strawberries).

Tips for Success

Cheesecakes can be a handful, but this particular cheesecake is no-bake, making things much more simple and stress-free. Nevertheless, here are some tips to ensure your success in making strawberry shortcake cheesecake!

  1. Don’t Overwork Shortbread: Over mixing or over kneading the shortbread can lead to a tough cake.
  2. Choose The Right Strawberries: I recommend using mostly medium sized strawberries. They’ll work best on the sides of the cheesecake and inside of it. You don’t want them so big that they stick out of the top of the filling too much.
  3. Let Things Cool Before Assembling: If you happen to finish everything more quickly than expected, make sure it’s all cooled to room temperature before moving on to the assembly. Once the shortcake and the sauce have both cooled completely, you’re good to go.
  4. Chill Until Firm: Don’t remove the cheesecake from the pan until it’s firmed up completely and will hold its shape. This will require at least 4 hours of chill time.

How to Store Cheesecake

Store leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay good for 3-4 days. Because this dessert uses fresh fruit, I don’t recommend freezing it – the berries will release a lot of juices when the cake thaws and it won’t be the same.

    Made this for my birthday! Turned out sooo good! I was a little worried about the shortcake crust, but it was sooo good!






  2. Mary Frances

    I made it ! It was really rich and delicious. Will make again . The cake broke first time and second time was successful.
    ( I seen stores sell rolls of parchment paper for side lining pans)

    1. Lindsay

      The only thing you might have trouble with is the strawberries. After you freeze and thaw strawberries, they can become mushy.

  3. Lizzie

    You are my new best friend for this. My dad wanted something with fresh berries as his father’s day treat and then left me to figure out what to make. I’m so glad that I saw these lovely photos when I went looking on Google images and found your website because the cake I ended up with turned out to be one of the best desserts I’ve made in my decade of being a home baker??? It was easy enough to follow, looks stunning, and tastes fantastic. most importantly the man of the hour was blown away. Dad shunned his diet to have 3 slices in one sitting, even after we had gone to a buffet for dinner! And I loved it and will definitely be making again.

    P.S. I followed the suggestion from ehof below, pastry bag was definitely helpful for neatly filling in the spaces between the berries!

    Cheers 🙂






  4. Ehof

    I owned my own cheesecake business and have always preferred my baked cheesecakes but thought this looked yummy enough to try. It was very beautiful and tasty. I do want to pass on a little tip to make this cake easier to assemble. I put my filling in a pasty bag fitted with a Bismarck 230 tip and filled in-between the spaces around your strawberries. This was so easy and fast. Thank you Lindsey for all your wonderful recipes!






  5. Sabrina

    I made this for thanksgiving and it was a hit. Once they cut it, it was gone!! They loved it and I’m not a baker so the from scratch scared me. I was able to do it and they loved it!! They want me to make it again for Christmas!






  6. Debra

    I baked this recipe and the cake was a very impressive presentation, although i baked the cake a day ago and it was in the fridge overnight before serving and my cake tasted dry. Do you think its because it a day old, sitting in the fridge too long, baked too long (baked 20mins) or does it need to be on the counter a bit after i take it out of the fridge?
    I wished the cake was more moist and soft for me 😢.
    Thanks for the recipe, I think i enjoy baked cheesecakes more also, different flavor/texture when baked.






    1. Lindsay

      Keep in mind that the base cake of this is a shortcake, so it is a different texture than a regular cake and more like a biscuit. It’s hard to say whether not you did anything wrong or perhaps aren’t as crazy about the biscuit. If you were to try it again, you could certainly try baking it a little less time.

  7. Linda

    I made this shortbread strawberry cheesecake over the weekend for a friend’s going away party and it was a HUGE hit! I read the recipe several times, and watched the video twice, before starting this cheesecake and that made everything go smoothly. I froze a metal bowl before whipping the cream the first time, but just used a room temp bowl the second time. Same outcome. Also, to make the sauce I cut berries into small pieces, and with a potato masher, I crushed them in a sauce pan over a medium heat. Worked very well. The parchment paper liner was tricky to “install” so I had my husband help. Worth the effort.

    Anyway, I’d definitely make this again and maybe try adding a few raspberries! 🙂

  8. Lisa

    I made this for a Mother’s Day brunch. It was amazing and got rave reviews. Thank you so much for such a delicious and beautiful recipe!

  9. Amy Napier

    I love this recipe! Unfortunately, I managed to break my perfect shortcake while removing it from springform pan. Since it was crumbled beyond redemption, I made a trifle out of it. Only thing I changed was I sugared the strawberries a little. I may have messed it up but my Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Trifle was delicious. Thank you for the recipe! ????

  10. Sherri in Ontario, Canada

    I just made this today for my daughter’s 20th birthday, (her request)……she LOVED IT!!

    For something sooo beautiful and elegant looking, it was surprisingly easy to make!! Everyone was very impressed. It easily fed 11 people.

    I have sent a picture to your email. While not as pretty as yours, I have to say I’m impressed with myself!!

    Thanks for sharing this with us!! It’s a keeper for sure ????

  11. Daniel Weinstein

    I can’t wait to make this cake! But I have a question. The recipe says to put a layer of whipped cream on top of the cheesecake layer, but the pictures show only one layer. 
    To me it makes sense to have just a cheesecake layer because I think the whipped cream layer would be too soft to hold up the strawberries and sauce on top. 
    Please share your advice on layers for this beautiful cheesecake! Thanks!!!

    1. Lindsay

      It’s there, it just blends in. You could leave it off if you prefer, but as long as you add the full amount of powdered sugar it’ll hold up just fine. The powdered sugar stabilizes the whipped cream.

  12. Sharon Bushey

    I made this cake for father’s day. My first attempt at a fancy “scratch” cake!
    It went over like gangbusters, gotta make another!!

  13. Diane

    I’m confused. I’m making the strawberry shortcake cheesecake. The second part says put metal bowl in freezer and whisk for 15 minutes. Whisk what?  Remove bowl and whisk from freezer and and 1 cup of heavy cream. I’m not understanding this instruction.

  14. Rachael

    The topping is great and fresh tasting but the base is kinda bland and really doesn’t have that “shortbread/shortcake flavor. I love to bake and usually make baked cheesecakes as I much prefer the texture but my husband saw this on pinterest and wanted me to make it for him. Some of the steps seems a bit unnecessary. I tried making the whipped cream in a frozen bowl (first half) and non frozen (second half) and it didn’t make any difference at all to the outcome of the cream. Also taking the shortcake base out of the spring form pan and then trying to put it back in was fiddly!! The hardest part was trying to get the parchment paper up the sides of the spring form pan!! It took both my husband and I to range it in there and close the pan! I’ve never done this with a baked cheesecake and I have no idea how I would have done it alone lol 
    Overall I would definitely make this again for a BBQ or party but I will call my Nan and ask her for her shortcake recipe to substitute for the base on this one. 

  15. Barbara

    This piece of art cheesecake it on my, to do list.  Thank you for such a work of art for the eyes as well as the stomach.  Also, do you melt the 5 T. of butter in the shortcake recipe?

  16. Ande H

    Air HUGS to you Lindsay.  I made this for my birthday weekend.  🙂  Your instructions were to the tee!  I have placed this yumminess in our top ten of desserts.  It brings a smile to my face and heart every time I have a piece.

    Take care.

  17. Jean

    We made this 3 days ago and AGAIN TODAY, it’s over the top DELICIOUS , you will not be sorry. It’s just THAT WONDERFUL

    1. Lindsay

      Well, those steps aren’t a typo. 🙂 You can certainly make it a little simpler and not freeze the bowl, but that is how I make my whipped cream. If you have a method you prefer, feel free to use that.

    1. lifeloveandsugar@gmail.com

      It would be best if eaten within 24 hours since the strawberries can brown and get less fresh, but it should be ok for 2-3 days if needed. Just know that the strawberries might not be best at that point. It depends on the berries.

  18. Liz

    this strawberry shortcake cheesecake is absolutely amazing. My daughter had asked for a shortcake crust and I wanted to make a cheesecake. It was the best of both. I made it for Canada Day and it was a great success.

  19. Margo Demers

    Question about the pureed’ strawberries….how many/much for the strawberry sauce. First sentence says add water to the pureed strawberries….but I don’t know how many. Cannot wait to taste this later!.

  20. Monica

    the recipe for the strawberry shortcake cheesecake has the whipped cream being made twice. It also fails to say which type of sugar and how much goes into the cheesecake. I’m in the middle of making it; I hope it turns out!

    1. lifeloveandsugar@gmail.com

      Yes, part of the whipped cream is for in the cheesecake, the other part goes on top. I’m not sure where you’re having issues with the sugar – from what I can tell it says granulated and powdered in different places. If you have a specific question about the sugar for a part of the recipe, let me know. Enjoy it!

  21. Peggy

    Could you please post the recipe for this fabulous-looking Strawberry Cheesecake? All I was able to find on this page was a link to the Driscoll’s shortcake recipe (personally, I’d just use Bisquick to save time, and I also don’t care for a sweet shortcake). I’m hoping to make this for a spring or summer family picnic, so please let us know the list of ingredients for more than just the bottom layer. Thanks!!!

  22. sharon

    I made the shortcake/cheesecake. I’m not a really regular baker so when I came across 2/3 cup Corn starch for the strawberry sauce I did not really think at first it was a problem.
    This is a major typo. Adding this much corn starch turns the sauce into the thickest, grittiest, inedible paste. The recipe does need to be edited, to show about 1/8 cup at the ;most. I know experienced bakers would not make my mistake., but I was lucky to have more strawberries to redo the sauce this time.

    1. lifeloveandsugar@gmail.com

      Hi Sharon, I’m so sorry about the trouble with the sauce. You are right that it is a typo and I want to get that fixed. Just to make sure I understand – you used the recipe on the Driscoll’s website, right? When I look at the recipe, I actually see 3/4 cup of cornstarch. Are you seeing 2/3 cup somewhere? It’s actually supposed to be 3/4 tsp, so I’m working with Driscoll’s to get that corrected. If there’s another place where you’re seeing 2/3 cup, will you let me know, so I can get it fixed? Thanks so much for pointing out the error!

      1. Sheryl Watson

        Hi! This recipe looks amazing; however, I am hesitant to make this due to the differences in measurements from the Driscoll website. The sauce ingredients lists 2+ Tablespoons of cornstarch for the sauce-which is correct, 3/4 of a teaspoon or what their recipe lists? I would love it if you would post the actual recipe as it’s to be made on your website.

      2. lifeloveandsugar@gmail.com

        Hi Sheryl! I’m sorry for the confusion. I looked at the recipe on their site and it looks like they’ve made some changes to the sauce – everything else is the same. It appears they’ve increased the amount of strawberry sauce by a little more than double. I primary used the sauce to lightly drizzle over the top of the strawberries and they’ve added a little more. If you prefer, you could cut the sauce recipe in half. Unfortunately because of the way this particular partnership worked, I can’t post the recipe on my site. I’m sorry. It’s a wonderful cheesecake though and like I said, nothing but the sauce has changed.

    Just wondering… did you put whole strawberries inside the pie or half like around the edge? Your great pics had me sold on this! I’m going to make it for a BBQ this 4th. My only fear is that the berries around the edge will stick to pan? Any advice?

    1. lifeloveandsugar@gmail.com

      I have whole strawberries inside the cheesecake and just thin slices around the outside edge. To make sure the berries on the side don’t stick, you can line the edge of the pan with parchment paper. Then after you removed the springform pan, you can just peal back the parchment paper.

      1. Brenda

        Thank you so much for your helpful hints. Well, I’m off to make the shortbread. Wish me luck. ; )

    You have to give the berries the sniff test no matter how many strange looks you get! Let them take home the less ripe ones. I LOVE your concept for this cheesecake! What a great idea! And it’s absolutely beautiful as a bonus!
