No-Bake Cheesecake Recipe

INGREDENT

For the crust:

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup (1 stick) melted butter

For the cheesecake filling:

• 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)

Topping (optional):

• Fresh fruit (berries, bananas, etc.)
• Fruit preserves or pie filling
• Chocolate shavings or sauce

Instructions

1. Prepare the crust:
   In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan or pie dish. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
2. Make the filling:
   In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; beat until well combined.
3. Whip the cream:
   In a separate bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
4. Assemble:
   Pour the filling over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
5. Chill:
   Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4–6 hours, or until fully set (overnight is best).
6. Serve:
   Top with fresh fruit, pie filling, or any topping of your choice. Slice and enjoy!
