Strawberry Cream Cheese Mousse Cake is a visually stunning, no-bake dessert with a buttery biscuit crust, airy cream cheese mousse filling, and a glossy, fresh strawberry topping—perfect for spring and summer entertaining.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
  • 6 tbsp melted butter
  • 12 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, halved
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam
  • 1 tsp gelatin or agar agar
  • 2 tbsp water (for blooming gelatin)

Instructions

  1. Mix crushed biscuits with melted butter and press into the bottom of a springform pan. Chill for 15–20 minutes.
  2. Bloom gelatin in 2 tbsp cold water for 5 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Whip the cream until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Melt the bloomed gelatin (about 10–15 seconds in microwave), then stir into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Pour over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.
  6. Arrange halved strawberries neatly over the top of the mousse layer.
  7. Warm strawberry jam until liquid. Stir in dissolved gelatin, let cool slightly, then brush or spoon glaze over the strawberries.
  8. Chill the cake again for 1–2 hours until the topping sets. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Add lemon zest to the mousse for a fresh citrus twist.
  • Use a chocolate cookie crust for a richer flavor contrast.
  • Ensure mousse is fully set before adding strawberry layer for clean layering.
  • Use a hot knife to slice cleanly.
  • Freeze without the glaze and decorate fresh after thawing.
