What’s in this No Bake Cheesecake Recipe?
After a trip to the dairy section of your favorite supermarket, you can pull this easy-to-follow recipe together fast.
Graham Crackers: Graham crackers are a match made in heaven for any cheesecake recipe. Sugar: Sugar adds sweetness as well as structure to the crust and the cream cheese mixture. Butter: The melted butter keeps the graham cracker crumbs together and also adds more depth to the flavor. Cream Cheese: Classic Philadelphia Cream Cheese is my personal favorite when it comes to cream cheese brands but you can also use alternatives. For a lower-fat opton, use Neufchatel cheese. Heavy Cream: The heavy cream can be replaced by lower-fat half and half, but the cheesecake will taste best with all the fat from the cream. Sour Cream: The sour cream adds more creaminess and the perfect touch of acidity to the cheesecake. Alternatively, you can use plain, full-fat Greek yogurt. Vanilla: A little vanilla extract from the aromatic vanilla bean adds the perfect flavor to the cheesecake.
Variations on Easy No Bake Cheesecake
This cheesecake recipe is a great base for a ton of different flavors. I like to serve mine with strawberry pie filling, but you could also turn this into a cherry cheesecake by adding cherry pie filling, a lemon cheesecake by topping it with lemon curd, or a blueberry cheesecake by adding blueberry pie filling. You could also switch up the crust for a crust made from Oreos, golden Oreos, Biscoff cookies, or other biscuits. You could even use a traditional pie crust if you like.
How to Make Ahead and Store No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
This cheesecake can be made up to 4 days in advance of when you plan to serve it. Store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Store leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve cold.
How to Freeze Homemade No Bake Cheesecake
Freeze the cheesecake tightly wrapped in 2 layers of plastic wrap and 1 layer of aluminum foil for up to 1 month. Enjoy straight from the freezer for a firmer texture or let thaw in the refrigerator.
