One of my favourite summer time memories as a child is eating strawberries in the garden. That taste of perfectly ripe strawberries is just the very taste of summer to me.

My children obviously feel the same as there’s lots of battling for the biggest and best ruby like berry going on in this house at the moment!

So when Waitrose asked me if I’d like to try some of their new berries, available in store now, I jumped at the chance.

The Waitrose 1 summer blush strawberries have an intensely sweet flavour and classic shape. These strawberries are always hand-picked by one of their selected specialist growers.

We tried them and couldn’t get enough. George and Harriet have been working their way through punnet after punnet of these strawberries all summer. I managed to rescue some, as they were perfect for a strawberry Prosecco plan I had in mind..

If strawberries aren’t your thing, there’s also delicious Waitrose 1 speciality raspberries or Waitrose sweet and juicy cherries available in store.

What was I going to use the strawberries for? A cheesecake of course!

This No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake with Prosecco is the ultimate grown up summer dessert. Perfect for a party or barbecue, it’s SO easy to make and really impressive.

The recipe uses the Waitrose 1 summer blush strawberries soaked in Prosecco, which not only adds a delicious kick but really complements the flavour of these delicious strawberries.

How long do you need to chill a No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake for?

A No Bake Cheesecake needs to be chilled in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.

If you’re in a push you can pop it into the freezer for 2 hours, and then allow 20 – 30 minutes to come to room temperature before serving. This is fine, but the consistency is a little less predictable than when chilled slowly.

What is the best tin to make a No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake in?

This recipe is for a 7″ tin which is also DEEP (not a standard sandwich cake tin, it will overflow.)

You can use smaller or larger tin or a different shape, but your cheesecake will obviously be taller or shorter. I would DEFINITELY recommend this tin though as it is a great size and very easy to use.

How to you make a strawberry coulis?

A berry coulis is in it’s simplest terms, pureed fruit served as a sauce. If you’d like to you can do any of the following to ‘jazz’ up the sauce even more:

• Add a tablespoon or two of icing sugar to taste.
• Add some raspberries before blended for a deeper flavour and colour.
• Add a drop of food colouring for a deeper red.
• Push it through a sieve to remove the seeds before drizzling.

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS NO BAKE STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE RECIPE:

• VERY IMPORTANT! This strawberry cheesecake needs to be served as soon as it comes out of the fridge. If you leave it standing at room temperature, the Prosecco starts to leak out and it becomes soggy.
• If you are making this no bake cheesecake in advance and want to travel anywhere with it, leave it in the tin and decorate at your destination.
• The consistency of this no bake cheesecake should be sliceable but not solid. Something like room temperature butter, it will give a little quiver if you wobble it gently.
• When whipping the double cream, be sure to watch it very carefully. It should be just forming soft floppy peaks, but still hold it’s shape. Too runny and the no bake cheesecake will be sloppy, too stiff and it will be too dense.
• Do sift the icing sugar, it will give a much smoother texture to the cheesecake. Don’t ignore this as I normally do!
• The recipe is for a 7″ tin which is also DEEP (not a standard sandwich cake tin, it will overflow! See the link below for the type of tin I use). You can use smaller or larger but your cheesecake will obviously be taller or shorter. I would DEFINITELY recommend this tin though as it is a great size and very easy to use.
• Strawberry Cheesecake too runny and won’t set? It’s probably because your cream wasn’t whipped quite enough. No problem, pop it into the freezer for a few hours before serving.
