The only downside to a

cheesecake is how long it takes to bake and how fussy it can be (water bath? no thank you!). A no-bake cheesecake takes all the stress away. Plus, it takes about half the time to make.

Do I have to bake the crust?

Nope! There is truly NO baking. In fact, the only heat required is used to melt butter for the crust. Our very easy graham cracker crust hardens as the cheesecake sets, which also means you don’t need to freeze the crust while making the cheesecake filling.

What makes it a no-bake?

Our classic cheesecake requires flour and eggs which helps set the cheesecake as it bakes. Both are left out here so it’s totally safe to eat. Whipped cream is folded into the cream cheese to provide the volume and creaminess and cheesecake needs. And a little sour cream and lemon juice add the necessary tanginess. It’s all around the perfect texture.
