Description

This Easy No-Bake Cheesecake is a creamy, luscious dessert that comes together effortlessly without turning on the oven. Featuring a buttery graham cracker crust and a smooth, sweet cream cheese filling folded with whipped cream, it’s perfect for summer gatherings or make-ahead celebrations. Garnish with fresh berries or your favorite fruit topping for a refreshing finish.


Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 200g graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits), crushed
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 500g full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 100g powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 300ml heavy whipping cream, cold

Garnish (optional)

  • Fresh berries or fruit topping


Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with melted butter and mix until evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Combine filling and whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream for a light texture.
  4. Assemble the cheesecake: Spoon the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top evenly with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set properly.
  5. Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh berries or your favorite fruit topping if desired for added freshness and color.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add lemon zest or a tablespoon of lemon juice to the filling.
  • You can substitute the graham crackers with chocolate cookies or ginger snaps for a twist on the crust.
  • Use a chilled bowl and beaters when whipping the cream to achieve best results.
  • The cheesecake tastes best after chilling overnight.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
