Cake without baking with strawberries - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of cookie for the base?

Yes, you can substitute graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or even Oreo cookies (without the filling) for the base. Just ensure the total quantity remains the same.

What can I use instead of cream cheese?

Mascarpone cheese or even a thick Greek yogurt (drained of excess liquid) can be used as a substitute for cream cheese. The flavor will be slightly different, but still delicious.

How long will this no-bake strawberry cake last in the refrigerator?

This cake will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. After that, the base may become a bit soggy.

Can I freeze this no-bake cake?

Freezing is not recommended as the cream cheese filling can change texture when thawed. The strawberries may also become watery.

I don't have powdered sugar. Can I use regular granulated sugar?

While powdered sugar is preferred for a smooth filling, you can use granulated sugar. Just make sure to blend it in a food processor until it's very fine before mixing it with the cream cheese to avoid a grainy texture.

What if I don't have a food processor to grind the cookies?

You can place the cookies in a resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they are fine crumbs. Alternatively, a blender can be used but pulse gently to avoid turning it into a paste.

Can I add other fruits besides strawberries?

Absolutely! Blueberries, raspberries, or sliced peaches would also be a great addition or substitution for the strawberries. Consider using a fruit jam that complements the fruit you choose.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, you can easily make this recipe gluten-free by using gluten-free cookies for the base. There are many delicious gluten-free options available.

How can I adjust the sweetness of the cake?

If you prefer a less sweet cake, reduce the amount of powdered sugar in the cream cheese filling. You can also use a sugar-free jam for the strawberry topping.
