Frozen Strawberry & Raspberry Cheesecake Mousse

Do you want a cool and creamy dessert but maybe something more decadent than ice cream? Take advantage of berry season and make this Frozen Strawberry & Raspberry Cheesecake Mousse. A cool and fruity dessert with the flavor of cheesecake and the texture of a mousse. Everything to love in a dessert.

Seriously who can resist the juicy red berries in a luscious dessert?  My family ate the whole dessert in one sitting and then they wanted more.  I actually made another mousse the next day and stuck it in the back of the freezer, well I actually hid it in the freezer under some old french fries.  I’m going to pull this out later when I need a treat.

This frozen cheesecake recipe has an easy to make batter that is filled with chopped strawberries and raspberries. The batter is layered in a pan with graham cracker crumbs and then frozen. It’s a no-bake dessert that is super simple and deliciously pink!

Let’s make a cheesecake

Step 1. Your first step is lining a standard size loaf pan (8″ x 4″) with plastic wrap.  Make sure to have enough wrap in the pan so you can bring the wrap up over the top of the mousse.

Step 2. In a large bowl add the sugar, softened cream cheese, and vanilla and beat with a mixer until smooth and fluffy.

Step 3. In another bowl beat the chilled whipping cream until stiff peaks form, and fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

Step 4. Gently fold the chopped strawberries the have been diced small and raspberries into the cream mixture.

Step 5. Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the plastic-lined loaf pan. Then sprinkle the graham crackers over the first layer, then add the next layer of the cream cheese mousse.

Step 6.  Cover the mousse with the excess plastic wrap and put it in the freezer. Let chill for three or more hours

Step 7. When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the freezer and carefully pull it out of the pan. You can use the plastic wrap to pull it out. Slice and enjoy!

Strawberry tips

• When you are using strawberries in a frozen dessert that needs to be sliced, cut the berries into small dice.  When strawberries are left in big pieces they freeze like an ice cube and are impossible to cut.  The smaller pieces of strawberries will soften quicker and will be easier to cut through.
• If you buy a lot of strawberries either from the market or even the strawberry farms you want them to last as long as possible. Check out my guide on How To Keep Strawberries Fresh. Trust me, doing this will keep your berries fresh for over a week.
