No-Bake Cheesecake Bliss

A delicious no-bake cheesecake that blends cream cheese, whipped cream, and a crunchy crust for a perfect dessert. Easy to make and sure to impress!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup (85g) graham cracker/digestive biscuit/vanilla cookie crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 12 teaspoons lemon zest, optional
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • Diced fresh fruit, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium-sized bowl, combine your graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated and have a consistency reminiscent of wet sand.
  2. Press the crust into a pan: Grab a 9-inch springform pan and evenly press the crumb mixture into the bottom. Use a flat-bottomed measuring cup to pack it down tightly.
  3. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Beat it with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add in the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. Incorporate the whipped cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Combine everything: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions.
  6. Fill the crust: Pour the cheesecake filling into your prepared crust, smoothing the top.
  7. Chill: Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes, or overnight for best results.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding a drizzle of chocolate or berry sauce when serving. You can also incorporate lemon zest for a citrusy brightness.
