Simple and easy strawberry delight recipe with berries, cream cheese, whipped cream, powdered sugar, and a pecan crust. Dreamy no bake dessert recipe!
Strawberry season is right around the corner, and I’ve got strawberries on the brain. While I love a good strawberry cream pie, my sweet tooth also loves strawberry delight with its strawberries and cream like filling.
Two of my favorite ways to make this dessert are by making a strawberry delight with vanilla pudding or strawberry angel delight. They’re both cool, refreshing twists to this dessert.
This is one no bake strawberry dessert that’s super easy to make, though. It doesn’t take a lot of time.
It also requires no baking, depending on what type of crust you go with. Personally, I love making it with our favorite nutty pie crust, but you can also make it with an easy graham cracker crust.
It does require just a few minutes of stove time to prepare the strawberry filling, but trust me when I say, it’s so worth it.

START WITH THE CRUST
So, first things first, you have to lay a foundation for your dessert. And that means, you need a crust.
If you choose to make my favorite pecan crust recipe, it’s so simple and easy and requires just a few minutes of bake time.
I like to make it ahead of time, and that way it’s ready to go when I need it. And yes, you can freeze it for later.
First, melt the butter. Then mix together the melted butter and flour, forming a dough.
If your pecans aren’t chopped, finely chop them. Then stir the chopped pecans into the dough until they’re all mixed in.
It’s a press in pie crust, so just press the dough into a 13″x9″ baking dish.
Bake at 350° for about 20 minutes, or until the edges of the crust begin to turn a nice golden brown (baking times can vary).
Let the crust cool before adding any filling.
