Cheesecake Recipe No Bake
Description
The cheesecake starts with graham cracker crumbs combined with melted butter and pressed evenly in a glass pie plate to form a firm crust. The filling is prepared by mixing softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth, then incorporating whipped cold heavy cream in stages until light and airy.
The cheesecake is poured into the crust and chilled for at least two hours to set properly without cooking. Toppings like canned cherry or blueberry pie filling add fruitiness and color before serving. The texture is creamy and smooth with a slight firmness from chilling, suitable for a refreshing dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- 16 oz cream cheese softened (two 8 oz packages)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream cold
- 1 cup canned pie filling cherry, blueberry, etc. (or topping of choice)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together to moisten. Press into an 8 or 9-inch glass pie plate and refrigerate.
- In a large bowl, mix cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and well combined. Scrape the sides and mix again to ensure there are no lumps. Stir in vanilla extract.
- With the mixer on, add cream in four increments, letting it whip into the cream cheese after each addition. Whip 1 minute until thick and light. Scrape the sides to ensure even mixing and whip again if needed.
- Pour into prepared pie shell and smooth the top. Refrigerate 2 hours to overnight, covered in plastic wrap.
- To serve, cut into pieces and top with two tablespoons of pie filling (or whipped cream) if desired.
