| Boilerpipe Text | This
easy no-bake Cheesecake Recipe
is made with just SIX ingredients! it’s a make ahead friendly no bake dessert for summer
,
perfect with so many different toppings!
I know this is no surprise.
With all the cheesecake recipes on The Recipe Rebel, I hadn’t yet shared the perfect easy no bake cheesecake recipe — the recipe that serves as the basis for so many of my
no bake cheesecake recipes
!
As fun as
White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
,
No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake
and
Key Lime Cheesecake
are, sometimes you just want good old vanilla.
Simply sweetened, with just a handful of ingredients.
The perfect cheesecake for serving up with a variety of sauces and toppings: caramel, chocolate, fresh berries, citrus curds — the options are really endless!
Like many of my cheesecakes around here, this one uses minimal bowls, with minimum prep time and headache.
Even though we have big love for the
The Best Vanilla Cheesecake Recipe
, this one has a lot of the same great qualities but almost none of the work.
Baked cheesecake requires a few more ingredients, a few more steps, and a lot more waiting around impatiently.
With this easy cheesecake recipe, you’re going to have to wait a good long time for it to chill (that’s one step we just couldn’t take out), you’re still ready to dig in
hours
before you’d be slicing into a baked cheesecake.
And even though it looks like you spent a lot of time on it, you don’t need to share the truth with anyone.
But you might have to share the recipe 😉
Easy Cheesecake Recipe Ingredients
This easy cheesecake recipe is made with the simplest of ingredients! No specialty products here 😉
Graham cracker crumbs
— you can use any finely crushed cookie crumbs for the crust!
Butter (unsalted)
— is the glue that holds our crust together.
Cream Cheese (full fat, room temperature)
— is the base for our cheesecake filling. Light cream cheese has more water in it so it won’t hold up as well.
Powdered Sugar
— sweetens and thickens our cheesecake filling.
Vanilla
— simple but so good!
Heavy whipping cream (cold!)
— beat to stiff peaks, this helps our filling to hold up perfectly.
How to make this easy cheesecake recipe:
A quick recipe overview with extra tips!
See the detailed recipe in the pink recipe card below
.
Start with your crust
— press it in firmly so it holds up nicely.
Beat your cream cheese
— room temperature is essential for no lumps! Then beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla.
Whip your cream and add it in
: If you know me at all, I’m not going to tell you you need an extra step unless you absolutely do. In this instance, whipping the cream first separately is more fail-proof and helps the cheesecake filling to hold up.
Fill and chill
: fill the crust and chill thoroughly — this step can’t be skipped!
Beat cream cheese until smooth.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla.
Whip cream separately and fold in.
Spread into prepared crust and chill.
What are some cheesecake toppings?
This cheesecake is perfect for a party! Just set up a cheesecake topping bar and let everyone come up with their own creations.
Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
Lemon curd
Strawberry Sauce
Chocolate Sauce
Rhubarb Sauce
Caramel Sauce
Chocolate chips or toffee bits
Crushed Oreos or other cookies
Reese’s pieces, Smarties and M&M’s
Whipped cream
(mix up the flavors if you liked)
Tools you’ll need for this cheesecake:
I make this cheesecake in a 9″ Springform pan, but you could also make it in an 8″ Springform pan or a 9″ square baking dish.
With no bake cheesecakes it’s very important that you use an electric mixer, but it doesn’t need to be fancy! I use the
KitchenAid handheld mixer
for most of my recipes.
An
offset spatula
is essential for getting the top super smooth, but this is totally optional and won’t affect the way it tastes 😉
More no bake desserts you’ll love:
Chocolate Lasagna
— for the chocolate lovers!
No Bake Biscoff Cheesecake
— with warm spices and brown sugar notes.
No Bake Mint Chocolate Cheesecake
— we love this one year round!
Peanut Butter Pie
— this one never lasts long.
▢
2¼
cups
graham cracker crumbs
,
(315g)
▢
½
cup
unsalted butter
,
melted
▢
3
packages
cream cheese,
,
room temperature (8oz or 250g each)
▢
1½
cups
powdered sugar
,
(165g)
▢
1
tablespoon
vanilla extract
▢
1
cup
heavy whipping cream
▢
Whipped cream or toppings
,
as desired
Line a 9″ springform pan with parchment paper for easy removal if desired. (I like to separate the top and bottom, then pinch the parchment in between the two so I can easily lift the cheesecake once it’s chilled.)
In a medium bowl, combine the cracker crumbs and butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan and about ½″ up the sides.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric or stand mixer, until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat on high, until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the cream, until stiff peaks form. Using a spatula or electric mixer on low, fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust, cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Serve with sweetened whipped cream or other toppings as desired.
*This recipe has been updated since it was originally posted. In the original recipe, the cream was added straight to the cream cheese and whipped. This recipe now calls for the cream to be whipped separately. Although the previous recipe worked great for many people, this way is a little more foolproof.

Hi
Could we use a 9 inch ready-made graham crust?
It would be less ingredients right? Like two blocks of cream cheese how much sugar and how much half-and-half should we use?
Thank you

Yes you can, but I would recommend two store bought crusts. There is no half and half in this recipe. If you want to make just one graham crust, I would halve the ingredients exactly.

Would using a 9” premade graham cracker crust work for this? Or does it need to go into a springform pan?

Yes, it will work but you’ll likely need two\!

Tasted yummy but I think it needs a little more heavy cream as it took nearly 12 hours for it to get thick enough to serve. Still very yummy and made the family happy

Hi Ella! More heavy cream will not make it thicker. I’m glad it tasted good\!

What is the difference between whipping the cream into stuff peaks vs adding it directly to the cream cheese?

It may hold a little better if you whip the cream before adding to the cream cheese

How do you add more sweetness, if it’s not sweet enough once you fold the whipping cream into the cream cheese mixture?

You can mix in some additional sugar on low speed, or simply add a sweet topping

I am excited about this but when it said 20min prep time I didn’t expect the 6 hours settling at the end which has left me with a bit of a dilemma- would be great to warn a novice like me so we can plan…

I’ve found it’s always important to read the entire recipe before starting – even one you’ve made before. Prep time usually just means the actual time to put the ingredients together, not additional time like baking, refrigerating, etc. I’ve made the same mistake of forgetting that time is often involved after prep time.

I love this recipe. I have changed it for my lactose intolerant family by using lactose free cream cheese and a tub of cool whip. The full dairy version is amazing!\!

| Readable Markdown | *This **easy no-bake Cheesecake Recipe** is made with just SIX ingredients! it’s a make ahead friendly no bake dessert for summer*, *perfect with so many different toppings\!*

I know this is no surprise.
With all the cheesecake recipes on The Recipe Rebel, I hadn’t yet shared the perfect easy no bake cheesecake recipe — the recipe that serves as the basis for so many of my [no bake cheesecake recipes](https://www.thereciperebel.com/no-bake-cheesecake-recipes/)\!
As fun as [White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake](https://www.thereciperebel.com/no-bake-white-chocolate-raspberry-cheesecake-recipe/), [No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake](https://www.thereciperebel.com/no-bake-chocolate-cheesecake/) and [Key Lime Cheesecake](https://www.thereciperebel.com/easy-key-lime-cheesecake/) are, sometimes you just want good old vanilla.
Simply sweetened, with just a handful of ingredients.
The perfect cheesecake for serving up with a variety of sauces and toppings: caramel, chocolate, fresh berries, citrus curds — the options are really endless\!
Like many of my cheesecakes around here, this one uses minimal bowls, with minimum prep time and headache.

Even though we have big love for the [The Best Vanilla Cheesecake Recipe](https://www.thereciperebel.com/the-best-vanilla-cheesecake/), this one has a lot of the same great qualities but almost none of the work.
Baked cheesecake requires a few more ingredients, a few more steps, and a lot more waiting around impatiently.
With this easy cheesecake recipe, you’re going to have to wait a good long time for it to chill (that’s one step we just couldn’t take out), you’re still ready to dig in *hours* before you’d be slicing into a baked cheesecake.
And even though it looks like you spent a lot of time on it, you don’t need to share the truth with anyone.
But you might have to share the recipe 😉
## Easy Cheesecake Recipe Ingredients
This easy cheesecake recipe is made with the simplest of ingredients! No specialty products here 😉

- **Graham cracker crumbs** — you can use any finely crushed cookie crumbs for the crust\!
- **Butter (unsalted)** — is the glue that holds our crust together.
- **Cream Cheese (full fat, room temperature)** — is the base for our cheesecake filling. Light cream cheese has more water in it so it won’t hold up as well.
- **Powdered Sugar** — sweetens and thickens our cheesecake filling.
- **Vanilla** — simple but so good\!
- **Heavy whipping cream (cold!)** — beat to stiff peaks, this helps our filling to hold up perfectly.
## How to make this easy cheesecake recipe:
A quick recipe overview with extra tips! **See the detailed recipe in the pink recipe card below**.
1. **Start with your crust** — press it in firmly so it holds up nicely.
2. **Beat your cream cheese** — room temperature is essential for no lumps! Then beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla.
3. **Whip your cream and add it in**: If you know me at all, I’m not going to tell you you need an extra step unless you absolutely do. In this instance, whipping the cream first separately is more fail-proof and helps the cheesecake filling to hold up.
4. **Fill and chill**: fill the crust and chill thoroughly — this step can’t be skipped\!

Beat cream cheese until smooth.

Add powdered sugar and vanilla.

Whip cream separately and fold in.

Spread into prepared crust and chill.
## What are some cheesecake toppings?
This cheesecake is perfect for a party! Just set up a cheesecake topping bar and let everyone come up with their own creations.
- Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- Lemon curd
- [Strawberry Sauce](https://www.thereciperebel.com/strawberry-sauce-recipe/)
- Chocolate Sauce
- [Rhubarb Sauce](https://www.thereciperebel.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Rhubarb-Sauce-Celebrating-Sweets.jpg)
- Caramel Sauce
- Chocolate chips or toffee bits
- Crushed Oreos or other cookies
- Reese’s pieces, Smarties and M\&M’s
- [Whipped cream](https://www.thereciperebel.com/whipped-cream/) (mix up the flavors if you liked)

## Tools you’ll need for this cheesecake:
- I make this cheesecake in a 9″ Springform pan, but you could also make it in an 8″ Springform pan or a 9″ square baking dish.
- With no bake cheesecakes it’s very important that you use an electric mixer, but it doesn’t need to be fancy! I use the [KitchenAid handheld mixer](https://amzn.to/2VmQA7q) for most of my recipes.
- An [offset spatula](https://amzn.to/2Hbq0FG) is essential for getting the top super smooth, but this is totally optional and won’t affect the way it tastes 😉

- [Peanut Butter Pie](https://www.thereciperebel.com/peanut-butter-pie/) — this one never lasts long.
- ▢
2¼ cups graham cracker crumbs, (315g)
- ▢
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ▢
3 packages cream cheese,, room temperature (8oz or 250g each)
- ▢
1½ cups powdered sugar, (165g)
- ▢
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ▢
1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ▢
Whipped cream or toppings, as desired
- Line a 9″ springform pan with parchment paper for easy removal if desired. (I like to separate the top and bottom, then pinch the parchment in between the two so I can easily lift the cheesecake once it’s chilled.)
- In a medium bowl, combine the cracker crumbs and butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan and about ½″ up the sides.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric or stand mixer, until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat on high, until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream, until stiff peaks form. Using a spatula or electric mixer on low, fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust, cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Serve with sweetened whipped cream or other toppings as desired.
\*This recipe has been updated since it was originally posted. In the original recipe, the cream was added straight to the cream cheese and whipped. This recipe now calls for the cream to be whipped separately. Although the previous recipe worked great for many people, this way is a little more foolproof.
