Because sometimes you just want to eat cheesecake and not feel guilty about it. Or just because it’s absolutely delicious. Summer is all about light, fresh flavours and juicy fruit. And bathing suits. So, really, it’s win-win. One of my favorite shortcuts, particularly with no-bake desserts, is using whole graham crackers as a base. This works particularly well with a square or rectangular pan, because, well — graham crackers are square or rectangular! After just a few hours in the fridge they soften and become cake-like and there are times I can’t even tell the difference between whole graham crackers and a graham cracker crumb crust. Another perk is that you don’t have to add the butter or sugar added to most graham cracker crusts! Then I added a layer of sliced strawberries, because if they’re going to be pushed down as you cut the cheesecake anyways. If you’d rather, feel free to use diced strawberries and stir them in with the pineapple! Then you simply stir up the cheesecake mixture and pour over top! Garnish with some extra strawberries — or not! — and stick in the fridge to enjoy in a few hours! Easy peasy so you can get back to the deck-sitting, pool-swimming and lemonade-sipping you really want to be doing!
