Easy Cheesecake Dessert

Sharing is caring!

Today I am sharing an easy cheesecake dessert that requires no baking. This No Bake Cheesecake is a family favorite and is a great go-to dessert and is made with pantry staple items.

The best part of making this delicious no-bake cheesecake is the no need for baking! Sometimes when you need a last-minute idea for the family get-together (excellent to make for an Easter or Mother’s Day lunch!) it is best to make a quick dessert that doesn’t require any extra thought.

Supplies Needed for Cheesecake Dessert

• Kitchen Aid Mixer or Hand Held Mixer
• Bowl
• Whisk
• Immersion Blender
• 9×13 dish

Ingredients Needed to Make a No Bake Cheesecake

• graham cracker crumbs
• melted butter
• sugar
• Dream Whip (milk, vanilla, Dream Whip mix)
• cream cheese
• sugar
• vanilla
• frozen fruit
• cornstarch or jello/gelatin

How to Make a No-Bake Cheesecake

The first step is to make the graham cracker crust and get it into the 9×13 dish. I like to chill the crust until I am ready to add the next step.

Mix the two packages of Dream Whip according to the package instructions. This is easiest to do with a kitchen aid mixer or hand-held mixer. Make sure to whip until it thickens and forms soft peaks. Move to a separate bowl to save for later.

Cream the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until it is smooth in the kitchen aid mixer.

Combine the Dream Whip and cream cheese mixture and fold together. Fill the graham cracker crust.

Make the fruit top and allow it to cool. Spoon onto the cheesecake and chill the entire dish.

Serve the no bake cheesecake dessert cold and enjoy!
