With a buttery Ritz cracker base, creamy cheesecake topping and strawberry pie filling, these Strawberry Cheesecake Crackers are the perfect spring or summer dessert. So easy to make and great for entertaining!

If you’ve been here long enough, you know that I am obsessed with no-bake cheesecake and I love baking with Ritz crackers because they’re convenient and always a crowd pleaser. So I decided to combine the two into one dessert, and the result is way better than I expected!

Why you’ll love this recipe:

I love traditional cheesecake and have been making them for my friends and family for years. However making a regular sized cheesecake is a labor of love. Let’s face it, eggs and cream cheese are getting pricey these days, not to mention the bake time takes 60-90 minutes and then you will need a water bath and a springform pan!

Sometimes I just do not have the time to devote to an entire cheesecake, however you can achieve the same delicious results with these cute mini cheesecake crackers that have that same smooth texture and are ready in less than 10 minutes! Yes, and the best part is no special equipment is needed.

One bite of this creamy cheesecake topping with a buttery Ritz cracker and you will never make cheesecake any other way! Plus, these strawberry cheesecake bites are completely no bake, making them an easy dessert to prepare for parties and holidays.

Ingredients you’ll need:

Cream cheese- softened
Heavy whipping cream
Powdered sugar
Vanilla extract
Ritz crackers
Strawberry pie filling

Elevate your snacking game with these Strawberry Cheesecake Crackers. Creamy filling, juicy berries, and crispy Ritz crackers combine to create a sweet and crunchy delight.

Ok, I’m going to say it out loud – these Strawberry Cheesecake Crackers are even better than a full-size cheesecake, and for so many reasons. This no-bake cheesecake treat is the perfect balance of sweet, salty, crunchy and creamy. Just like a full-size cheesecake, these bite-sized treats are packed with creamy flavor. Just add your favorite pie filling topper!

How to make the best Strawberry Cheesecake Crackers:

In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or Ziploc bag, cut off one end, then pipe about 1 tsp of filling onto each Ritz cracker.
Spoon 1 tsp of strawberry pie filling on top of each one and enjoy!

Strawberry Cheesecake Crackers are a crowd-pleaser every time I make them! Rich, sweet, and creamy cheesecake topping on a buttery, crispy Ritz cracker base and then loaded with a bright strawberry pie filling… they’re the perfect summer dessert!

Have a hankering for cheesecake but don’t have the time to make a full-size one? Or don’t trust yourself not to eat it all in one sitting – errrr…. just me?! These strawberry cheesecake bites with Ritz crackers are the answer. They’re perfect for a little cheesecake indulgence with minimal effort!

My top tips:

RITZ CRACKERS: I love the buttery flavor and flakey texture that Ritz crackers give these strawberry cheesecake crackers, but you can also use something sweeter as the base, like a graham cracker. Just break them in half so you still have a bite-sized treat!
SOFTENED CREAM CHEESE: Softened cream cheese is key in this cheesecake topping. It’s super important to make sure your cream cheese is fully softened so that it incorporates into the other ingredients easily, which ensures your filling will be super smooth rather than lumpy!
ELECTRIC MIXER: An electric mixer is helpful to make the no bake cheesecake topping super light and fluffy. You can still make the filling without one, just make sure the cold ingredients have come to room temperature prior to combining them.
PIPING: Transferring the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag or Ziploc bag helps control how much filling you’re piping onto the crackers and in turn keeps them nice and neat.
PIE FILLING: Although I love the convenience of store-bought filling, if you want to top these crackers with your favorite homemade pie filling, don’t let me stop you! Just make sure it’s fully cooled before assembling.
STORING: Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. These are best enjoyed within 2 days to ensure the crackers maintain their crisp texture.
