Description

This No-Bake Cheesecake Dessert is a creamy and delicious treat that requires no oven time. Featuring a buttery graham cracker crust and a smooth cream cheese filling whipped to perfection, it’s an easy-to-make dessert perfect for any occasion. Top it with fresh berries, fruit preserves, or chocolate sauce for added flavor and elegance.


Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold

Optional toppings:

  • Fresh berries
  • Fruit preserves
  • Chocolate sauce
  • Crushed cookies


Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch pan or pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
  3. Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  4. Add toppings and serve: Top with fresh berries, fruit preserves, or your favorite toppings before serving.

Notes

  • For a firmer set, chill overnight.
  • This recipe can also be made in individual jars or cups for easy serving.
