I was compensated by Nielsen-Massey Vanillas for my time in developing this recipe and post. All opinions are my own.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I can’t even begin to express how excited I am to share this no-bake strawberry cheesecake recipe with you all. Not only are the layers in this dessert absolutely gorgeous, but that homemade vanilla bean whipped cream is also amazing. Like, I want to put it on anything and everything, or just eat it with a spoon.<\/p>\n

Another reason I’m excited to share this recipe with you all is because it uses Nielsen-Massey Vanillas<\/a>, which is my absolute favorite vanilla brand.<\/p>\n

The recipe starts off with an easy homemade graham cracker crust<\/a>. And because I’ve been obsessed with layered desserts lately, I decided to do a vanilla bean cheesecake layer and a strawberry cheesecake layer.  The instructions may seem a little long, but several ingredients repeat themselves so don’t be alarmed! I can assure you that this cheesecake is easy to make, it just takes a little extra time to get those gorgeous layers. But it’s worth the extra effort, trust me.<\/p>\n

For the vanilla bean layer, I used Nielsen-Massey’s Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste and it is absolutely AMAZING. Their Pure Vanilla Bean Paste is extremely convenient to have on hand and it adds those pretty little specks of vanilla bean to your desserts. I love replacing the vanilla extract in my vanilla cupcake<\/a> recipe with their vanilla bean paste. I use it in the frosting too because the flavor is phenomenal.<\/p>\n

I also used their Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract in the strawberry layer along with some strawberry puree. Their Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract has a sweet, creamy flavor with velvety after-tones and makes for an excellent all-purpose vanilla. It’s perfect for any sweet or savory recipe, which I love. <\/p>\n
