No-Bake Cheesecake:
If cheesecake is your jam, you’re gonna want to try this recipe. It has all the flavors you love in cheesecake, without the heaviness of a baked cheesecake recipe or the time it takes to make that baked cheesecake. It’s made with cream cheese, whipped cream, sweetened with powdered sugar and flavored with a splash of vanilla. It’s a simple and easy, no-fail recipe everyone loves.
You can add just about any topping to this no-bake cheesecake recipe. We love adding cherry pie filling, a dollop of whipped cream with fresh berries, cranberry-orange sauce, this lemon curd syrup is amazing and also this mixed berry syrup too. The possibilities are endless. Yum!
Also, again, if no-bake cheesecake is your thing, I have a No Bake Nutella Cheesecake that is off the charts, and a No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake. Both of these are irresistible!
No Bake Crustless Cheesecake Recipe:
You can also make this a no-bake crustless cheesecake. It’s a great recipe for a trifle, a topping for crepes, or a filling for cupcakes. Mini no-bake cheesecakes are fun too.
You can get tiny, one cup sized mason jars and fill or layer them with a graham cracker crust and this cheesecake filling and then top with berries or a chocolate sauce. It’s the perfect no-bake dessert for a bridal or baby shower.
Ingredient in No-Bake Cheesecake:
Cream Cheese- You can use Phillidelpia Cream Cheese or any store brand. You can also use full fat or reduced-fat cream cheese. Either works great.
Powdered Sugar- This is to sweeten the cheesecake.
Whipping Cream- You will whip this with an electric mixer. You can use Cool Whip but I don’t suggest it unless you’re in a dire situation and can’t get your hands on whipping cream. It will definitely change the texture and flavor of the cheesecake.
Vanilla-Pure Vanilla Extract is great.
Ingredients in Graham Cracker Crust:
You can also do an oreo crust, lemon oreo crust, nilla wafer crust or if this is for the holidays, a gingersnap crust is fantastic.
Graham Crackers- Any brand or variety will do.
Sugar- regular granulated sugar is great.
Butter- salted butter works great
