I’m always on the hunt for a good cheesecake recipe! This one happens to be no-bake AND loaded with chocolate- perfect for Valentine’s Day. What treat do you make for Valentine’s Day? We typically make sugar cookies, but last year I surprised my husband with his favorite white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. It was a huge hit! This year I wanted to come up with something easier and less time consuming. These no-bake cheesecakes are just that! They come together in about 15 minutes, the hardest part is waiting for them to “set” in the fridge ????. I used brownie chunks for the base, however, if you have chocolate cookie crumbs you can use those too! You can pipe in the filling or spoon it in, it’s totally up to you. After the cheesecakes have chilled for an hour, pop the strawberries on, top it with whipped cream and you’ve got a decadent little treat that everyone will love!
These yummy no-bake strawberry Nutella cheesecakes are perfect for this time of year. Here’s the recipe…
No-Bake Strawberry Nutella Cheescakes Recipe
Ingredients
Bottom Layer
- 4-6 brownies brownie chunks or chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs (I used 1 brownie per cup)
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 3/4 cup nutella
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
Top Layers
- 12-18 strawberries halved (about 3 small ones per cup)
- Whipped Cream (I used homemade)
Instructions
- Divide the crumbs or brownie chunks between 4 to 6 individual cups.
- In a large bowl, with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and Nutella until smooth. Add vanilla and salt, mix to combine.
- In a medium bowl, with a hand mixer, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Using a spatula, fold the whipped cream into the Nutella mixture until combined.
- Pipe or spoon the filling on top of the bottom layer. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
- Before serving, add strawberries and whipped cream.
- If desired, garnish with chocolate shavings, mini chocolate chips, or chocolate sauce.

ARE there 3300 calories per serving,–4 to 6 individual cups?
Could an 8-9″ pan of brownies be ‘frosted’ With the chesecake topping & cut into individual squares?
looked and tasted amazing however i was trying to think of substitutes for the strawberries and i couldn’t really find any, do you have any suggestions? I added more nutella (because i love chocolate and nutella) and it tasted even better, or so i think. all being said it was amazing!! i DEFINITELY would eat again, and especially for valentines day.
It really could be whatever fruit you like, that might go with chocolate as well…maybe raspberries or cherries? Nothing wrong with adding more nutella 🙂
is this definitely 3300 calories per serving?
This chessecake cups looks so cute, thank you for sharing the nice recipe.
