No-Bake Cheesecake

Print Recipe

A silky, creamy dessert that is indulgent yet doesn’t require an oven, featuring a rich cream cheese filling and a buttery graham cracker crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 and 1/4 cups heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
  • 24 ounces full-fat brick cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and hold together when pressed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch or 10-inch springform pan. Freeze the crust for 10 to 20 minutes to set.
  2. Whip the cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside in the fridge to stay cold while you prepare the filling.
  3. Beat the cream cheese: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar until smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Add flavorings: Mix in the confectioners’ sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  5. Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions using a rubber spatula until no white streaks remain.
  6. Assemble: Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Cover the springform pan and refrigerate for at least 6 to 8 hours, or overnight for best results.
  7. Serve: Remove the ring of the springform pan, slice, and serve.

Notes

For best results, chill overnight and use full-fat ingredients for a richer flavor and texture.
