No Bake Cheesecake is a creamy, rich, and fuss-free dessert made with a buttery graham cracker crust and a light, fluffy filling. It’s perfect for any occasion and doesn’t require an oven, making it a quick and impressive sweet treat.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, fruit compote, chocolate sauce, caramel, crushed cookies

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan or pie dish to form the crust. Chill while preparing the filling.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla, and a little granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
  5. Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours or overnight.
  6. Top with fresh berries, sauce, or desired toppings before serving.

Notes

  • Add lemon zest or juice for a citrusy variation.
  • Mix melted chocolate or cocoa powder into the filling for a chocolate version.
  • Use crushed Oreos or gingersnaps instead of graham crackers for the crust.
  • Swirl in fruit puree or jam for extra flavor.
  • Chill overnight for the best texture and easy slicing.
