Layered with a delicious graham cracker crust, a sweet and creamy filling, sliced strawberries, and a light and fluffy whipped topping, this no-bake champagne cheesecake is the perfect dessert for any party!
I was thinking of ways I could combine some of my favorite things into recipes. One thing I love? Champagne. Another? Cheesecake! Boozy desserts are where it’s at. With those two things in mind, I created this delicious no-bake champagne cheesecake recipe. It’s so easy to make and SO delicious!
Ingredients
There are four layers to today’s dessert: a graham cracker crust, a white chocolate champagne cheesecake, a fresh strawberry layer, and a homemade fluffy champagne whipped cream.
Crust
- Graham Cracker Crumbs – make a crumbly, delicious base layer for this cheesecake.
- Unsalted Butter – binds the graham cracker crumbs together so it can hold its layer.
Two-ingredient crust has never tasted so good. Next up? The filling!
Filling
- White Chocolate – adds a creaminess and richness to the filling.
- Powdered Sugar – sweetens and thickens the filling.
- Cream Cheese – gives more texture and a bit of tang.
- Champagne – gives that apple-y, citrusy champagne flavor.
- Vanilla Extract – adds a vanilla bean flavor.
- Cool Whip – gives a fluffiness to the filling.
So thick and creamy, this filling is to die for!
Whipped Cream
- Powdered Sugar – thickens and sweetens the whipped topping.
- Heavy Cream – the base for the whipped cream. This should be very cold.
- Champagne – adds more of the champagne flavor to balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients.
- Vanilla Extract – adds flavor.

- For different cheesecake flavor ideas, try replacing the filling from this recipe with the filling from another no-bake cheesecake recipe like my Lighter Lemon Walnut No Bake Cheesecakes Recipe or my funfetti cake batter dip.
- An alternative crust idea would be swapping out the graham cracker with another type of cookie, like chocolate chip cookies or even Oreos!
