No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake

Happy Friday my dear friend! Are you excited for the end of the week as much as I am? I'm sure you've had a busy one.

As for me, I've been pretty occupied lately. Actually, it's not just lately, but I don't even remember the time when I wasn't busy. After my second daughter was born, I'm literally on the go all day. Whenever I'm not chasing my preschooler and infant, you can find me cooking, cleaning the house or writing posts for my blog. In the moments like these, I absolutely need to have a quick snack on hand that's delicious yet keeps me and my kids full.

For this purpose I like to keep a few non-dairy treats in my fridge. My latest obsession - Silk Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative. It is unbelievably smooth and creamy non-dairy treat and is perfect as everyday yogurt alternative. I love that it is verified by the Non-GMO Project's product verification program and doesn't contain high-fructose corn syrup.

On top  of it, it's protein-packed and so delicious, you won't be able to tell it's dairy-free.

Now, what if I tell you, that besides having Silk Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative as your midday snack, you can also make a dessert using this delicious product? In fact, I'm talking about a No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake. Yep, you've heard me. No need to turn on the oven. Are you excited yet? I hope so! I promise, you will love this easy No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake.

First things first. You need to stock up on the ingredients. Head over to your local Walmart store and buy Silk Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative. For this recipe I used Strawberry Flavor, but any other flavor will work just as good. Make sure to check out other Silk products.

You'll also need a coconut milk, coconut oil, crunchy cookies for crust and fresh ripe strawberries.

This No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake is so easy to make. In fact, you need no more than 15 minutes to prepare crust and filling. It will take another 30-40 minutes to set it in a fridge. And very soon you can enjoy one of the easiest and creamiest no-bake desserts.

When you make a cheesecake filling, make sure your ingredients are at a room temperature. It's important! Otherwise gelatin will not dissolve.
