    Recipe for Cheesecake, No-Bake Recipe

    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, and cranberry-orange sauce. This lemon curd syrup is amazing, as also this mixed berry syrup too. The possibilities are endless. Yum!

    If No-Bake Cheesecakes are your thing, there are a couple more you've gotta try.  This Easy Pumpkin Cheesecake is a favorite around the holidays, and this Easy Nutella Cheesecake is perfect for your Nutella Lovers. And of course, you can't go wrong with a classic Easy Chocolate Cheesecake. 

     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 cupcake filling. 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.

    How to make No-Bake Cheesecake

    1. In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
    2. In an electric mixer with the beater attachment, beat cream cheese until fluffy. (Note: Make sure your cream cheese is room temperature or the mixture will be lumpy. You can also microwave for 40-45 seconds to soften.)
    3. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat again until fluffy.
    4. Fold the whipped cream and cream cheese mixtures until light and fluffy.
    5. Pour the no-bake cream cheese mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust.
    6. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until ready to serve.

    Recipe Variations

    • Crust- Try a Gingersnap Pie Crust and top with a peach puree, Nilla Wafers Crust is a classic too. You can also try this Flaky Pie Crust Recipe or keep it simple with an Easy Graham Cracker Crust.
    • Toppings- Serve with Fudge Sauce, Strawberry Sauce, Lemon Curd, or your favorite pie filling. Top with freshly whipped cream and wa-lah, delish!

    Storing

    • Freezer- Wrap the cheesecake in slices or whole, in plastic wrap and again in foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
    • Fridge- Wrap the cheesecake in plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
