No-Bake White Chocolate & Strawberry Cheesecake!

Buttery biscuit Base, white chocolate cheesecake with strawberry filling, whipped cream, more chocolate, and even more strawberry! The most amazing white chocolate and strawberry cheesecake!
White chocolate and strawberry cheesecake
White chocolate cheesecake is such a delicious flavour for me, but I love it with some fruit in as well. White chocolate and strawberry cheesecake however is such a delicious combination to me that I just had to make it for you guys!
I used cream cheese, icing sugar, vanilla, cream, chocolate and strawberries to make one of my most favourite cheesecake fillings EVER. Using digestives for my buttery biscuit base is also just my favourite ever… but you can realistically use whatever biscuit you like.
No bake recipes
Using a no-bake recipe means you can obviously still create this delicious recipe without an oven or if you want to make it ahead of time it is super quick and easy! My other no bake fruity cheesecakes include lemon and raspberry and a delicious piña colada version! If you fancy something more chocolate themed, I have Kitkat, Galaxy and chocolate overload which is any chocolate lovers heaven!
Base
Anyway… cheesecake base! As above, I used digestives for my white chocolate and strawberry cheesecake base as they are my favourite! If you want to use a ‘filled biscuit’ on the bottom like Oreos, you need to reduce the butter content to 100g (still 300g of biscuits). If you wanted to use a chocolate coated biscuit, like a chocolate digestive, then you want to use 125g of butter.
Filling
You can use mascarpone for the filling if you want instead of Philadelphia, but I find with this particular recipe, it becomes too sweet with mascarpone because of the white chocolate.
This recipe is delightfully light and utterly delicious, the cheesecake mixture is so fluffy and full of flavour, and it matches the fresh and dried strawberries PERFECTLY! I always believe cheesecake is the perfect dessert for any occasion, whether it is baked or not!
Decoration
You can decorate (or not decorate if you fancy!) however you like. I personally like some swirls of fresh cream, a drizzle of white chocolate and more strawberry goodness! I love the combination of fresh strawberries with cold cheesecake filling – delicious!
You can add some sprinkles if you wish but I just fancied throwing on some more freeze dried strawberries. I add a generous amount of white chocolate drizzle on the top as it creates a nice balance with the strawberries both inside and on top of the cheesecake. ENJOY!
Recipe Updated June 2017 – Original method for this recipe didn’t use strawberries on the inside and had less decoration!
White Chocolate and Strawberry Cheesecake
Ingredients
Base
- 300 g digestives
- 150 g unsalted butter melted
Filling
- 560 g full fat cream cheese
- 125 g icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 300 ml double cream
- 300 g white chocolate melted
- 300 g fresh strawberries chopped
- Freeze dried strawberries
Decoration
- 50 g white chocolate melted
- 150 ml double cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- Freeze dried strawberries
- White chocolate strawberries
Instructions
Base
- Blitz the biscuits in a food processor to a small crumb, and add the melted butter - either pulse in the food processor a few times till the mixture is combined, or mix it in a bowl
- Tip the biscuits into a 8"/20cm deep springform tin and press down firmly
Cheesecake
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, or in the microwave on short bursts until full melted
- Leave to cool whilst doing the rest
- In your stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whisk together the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla together until smooth
- Pour in the double cream and whisk until thick!
- Once completed, pour in the cooled white chocolate, and whisk briefly to combine
- Fold through the chopped fresh strawberries and some freeze dried strawberries
- Spread the mix over the biscuit base, smooth over and chill in the fridge for at least 5-6 hours, or preferably overnight so it will definitely be set
Decoration
- Drizzle over the melted white chocolate
- Whip together the double cream and icing sugar and then pipe on in swirls! I used a 2D Closed Star Piping.
- I then add some fresh strawberries to the top (6 usually) and sprinkle on some white chocolate sprinkles and the freeze dried strawberries
- ENJOY!
Notes
- I recommend using a 8"/20cm deep springform tin in this recipe!
- You could easily serve this cheesecake with practically any fruit you like, but I find strawberries work exceptionally well
- I buy my freeze dried strawberries online here
ENJOY!

Made this cheesecake yesterday. Amazinggggggg! My favourite one so far!
I made this and it didn’t set, the mixture was very thick and I left it a whole day in the fridge! Do you know why this might of happened 🙁 use your recipes all the time and this is the only one that’s ever gone wrong x
It might have been the moisture coming from the strawberries? Sorry you had troubles! x
Okay thank you 🙂 still tasted great even though it wasn’t set x x
Jane do you sell your cheesecakes how much do you charge for your white chocolate and strawberry one . Thank you .
Love this recipe and want to get ahead for Christmas, can it be frozen? Thank you.
Yep!
Hi Jane do I add any gelatine in to it?
No gelatine is needed
Hi Jane
Can this me made using a shortbread base? Or would it go ‘pastry like ‘when blitzed with butter for the base?
Thanks
You can do but yeah it does go a little pastry like – can go a little soggy too in comparison to a dryer biscuits like digestives – but thats up to you! ?
Would it keep ok if I made it on Friday then decorated and serves it on Sunday ? Or will it be too hard to take our the tin? Does it need to be served the next day?
That would be absolutely fine! They last for 3-4 days so it would be fine!
I came across your blog two days ago. I needed a simple dessert that looked the part. Made the white chocolate and strawberry cheesecake, it was an utter triumph, I added a fruit coulis!
I anticipate going through each cheesecake in turn. Easter soon, so the mini egg one net on the list, as I live in Spain, many of the chocolates I can’t get, but I’ll adapt.
One question. I found the crumb base, stuck to bottom of tin, any típs?
Oooh that sounds delicious!! I am so glad! ? And yes, thats the problem with a lot of recipes I post… many countries don’t have the treats I use! Did your tin have a lip so that it got caught? I never have an issue but I use a thin metal spatula to run around underneath the cheesecake and the cheesecake lifts off quite easily? ?
Hi
when i find my biscuit base won’t come away from the bottom i just put it on a low heat for 5 seconds and then it comes off very nicely.
Hi Jane,
I’m loving your cheesecake recipes but just wanted to check if the white chocolate one firms up nicely without it having to be whipped to a thick consistency? i.e. Am I correct to assume that the melted chocolate firms the entire mixture up when chilled?
No I’m afraid it will still have to be whipped up quite a lot – the chocolate firming up does happen, but it only goes so far. For example, you still need full fat ingredients, and you still need to whip it up otherwise you risk it not working.
Yay !!! I love bakers. !! Follow back !
Oh so beautiful *sigh*…
I have a mini Victoria sponge tin which would be great to make individual ones of these in #JoJodoesntshare lol 😉
Hehe thank youu! And that sounds cute!! I often make this in mini jars for individual ones, and then eat 5…

Wow, this looks simple and delicious – another to add to the list, thank you! I’m always baking cakes – love the idea of an unbaked one 🙂
