Description

This creamy and luscious no-bake cheesecake is a perfect dessert that requires no oven time, making it easy and quick to prepare. With a buttery graham cracker crust and a smooth, fluffy cream cheese filling, it’s topped with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, and optional caramel or fruit sauce for a decadent finish. Ideal for gatherings or a simple indulgence, it must be chilled for several hours to set perfectly.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Filling

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Toppings

  • Fresh berries
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Caramel or fruit sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set.
  2. Make the cream cheese filling: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring it is evenly combined without deflating the whipped cream.
  4. Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for a neat finish.
  5. Chill to set: Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly and develop its creamy texture.
  6. Serve: Before serving, gently remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Decorate the top with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, and drizzle with caramel or fruit sauce if desired. Slice and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to make blending easier and smoother.
  • Use a springform pan for easy removal of the cheesecake without damaging the edges.
  • Do not overmix when folding whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain a light and airy texture.
  • Chilling time is crucial for the cheesecake to set properly.
  • Feel free to experiment with different toppings like nuts or flavored syrups according to your preference.
