This No Bake Strawberry Milkshake Cheesecake might be my favorite cheesecake yet! Strawberry Nesquick always tastes magical when added to desserts, and this cheesecake is no exception! It’s worth breaking a diet for. I know. I did it.
No Bake Strawberry Milkshake Cheesecake
As you read this (assuming you’re reading it the day it posted), I am on my way to the BlogHer Food Conference in Miami!! I cannot wait! It’ll be so fun to see friends, meet new ones and spend time with my roomie Julianne from Beyond Frosting. We met back in February and she is the best!
Plus, I’m stoked to be back in South Florida for a few days. I’ve decided it’s my heaven. I love it. The only bummer is that the hubs couldn’t come with me – he has to work.
I can’t wait to tell you all about the trip when I’m back. If you’re interested, follow me on instagram – I’ll be sharing photos all weekend!
But in the meantime, you must make this cheesecake. Every time I take another bite, I can’t stop eating it all over again.
It’s not as thick as some of the other no bake cheesecakes I’ve shared – I think because of the Nesquick mix – so you’ll want to make sure to keep it in the fridge right until you serve it. And as much as I dig a thick cheesecake, it doesn’t bother me one bit that this one isn’t as thick.
And the chocolate Oreo crust is the perfect compliment for it. I considered nilla wafers, graham crackers and even golden Oreos, but the chocolate contrasts and compliments the strawberry just like it should.
The hubs has gone totally crazy over this cheesecake. I was told I couldn’t give any away. That’s always a good sign.
And honestly, I kind of didn’t want to. Except that I’m trying to eat better and eating an entire cheesecake doesn’t really go with that goal real well. Bummer. But as much as I hate cutting back on my sweets, fitting into old clothes has been really nice.
Even so, I had more of this cheesecake than I thought I would. I just couldn’t resist.
And because it’s no bake, it is so easy to make. The crust is just Oreo crumbs, melted butter and sprinkles mixed together, then pressed into the bottom of a springform pan.
The filling is mostly cream cheese. Added to it is some sugar, vanilla, strawberry Nesquick powder mix and a little milk to break up the powder and smooth it out.
The Cool Whip that gets added loosens up the cream cheese. You can replace it with homemade whipped cream if you’d like. The recipe I have on the blog would work great, but you might want to add a little more powdered sugar to it, so it’s thicker. Probably about 1/2 a cup for 1 cup of heavy cream.
And that’s it! Just let it set in the fridge – I usually leave it overnight. When it’s done, you can add more whipped cream and sprinkles. Don’t the sprinkles just make it so pretty?
Time to get baking! Minus the actual baking part. 😉

This cheesecake looks fabulous! I love that the recipe is so simple <3 ! Pinned!
Thanks Roxy!
i love the fun colors and it looks yummy too!
I made this recipe yesterday. It’s absolutely delicious! Everybody at home loved it! Thanks, Lindsay! Congratulations on this great website!
Thanks Julia! I’m so glad everyone loved it! 🙂
This looks amazing! I’m totally making it next weekend 🙂 About how many oreos will it take to get 2 cups?
It should take about 20 Oreos for 2 cups of crumbs. Enjoy it! 🙂
I was wondering if you could make this with strawberry milk instead?
And would the recipe change in any way?
There`s someone I want to make this for and he really likes a certain brand of strawberry milk, and I want to use it to make him something he`d like, and this seems perfect.
I don’t think strawberry milk would work well. The cheesecake wouldn’t be thick enough. The powder works because it’s not a liquid.
Could you miss out the mikk if using ready made strawberry milk shake drink?
There’s only 1 tbsp of milk, so strawberry or regular won’t make a big difference. But yes, you could use strawberry milk in place of regular milk.
I’m wondering how much fresh whipping cream would you use ?
I’d use about 1 1/4 cups.
Perfect……..Thank You
Your photos are stunning! I love all the colors. And you put sprinkles in your CRUST. Dying.
This is seriously testing my willpower! I’m trying to eat healthier (and in moderation) too, so this could be a dangerous experiment…perhaps I’ll save it for a special occasion – like a Saturday or something!
Haha! Perfect for a Saturday! 🙂
what a beautiful cheesecake, I could eat it with my eyes. Such a refreshing change from the usual! I’ve got to make this. Have a great time at BlogHer; I’m jealous!
Thanks Katie! It’s my first BlogHer conference, so I’m excited!
