Strawberry Champagne Cheesecake Trifles
This no bake strawberry champagne cheesecake trifle is so easy to make! It would be perfect for a New Years party, or remove the champagne and make them all year.
Ingredients
For the crust
- 14 full graham crackers
- 10 tbsp salted butter melted
- 4 tbsp light brown sugar
For the cream cheese filling
- 16 oz full fat cream cheese softened
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
For the champagne strawberries
- 24 oz fresh strawberries washed & sliced thin
- 1 bottle champagne
Instructions
For the champagne strawberries
- Wash and thinly slice the strawberries.
- Place strawberries in a bowl, pour the champagne over them and cover in the refrigerator for 24 hours so that the strawberries absorb the champagne.
For the crust
- Crush the graham crackers in a food processor until they are fine and without chunks.
- In the food processor, add in the melted butter and sugar and mix until well combined.
For the cream cheese filling
- In a mixing bowl fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream on high speed until it turns from liquid to a whipped cream that forms small peaks.
- In a separate medium sized bowl, beat the cream cheese, vanilla and sugar until well combined and smooth.
- Fold the heavy cream mixture that you created into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
- Fill a piping bag with the cream cheese mixture for assembly.
To assemble
- I used small champagne flutes, but any stemmed glass will work. A white wine glass would work well too. Make sure you have a spoon that will work for serving if you are using narrow glassware.
- Start by filling each glass about 1/6th of the way full with the graham cracker mixture.
- Next you will fill another 1/6th of the glass with the cream cheese mixture with your piping bag.
- Then add the champagne strawberries to bring your glass to half full.
- Repeat those steps one more time to bring the layers to the top of each glass.
- Top off with the cream cheese mixture and some graham cracker crumbs.
Notes
Simply remove the champagne if you want a simple strawberry cream cheese dessert!
