No Bake Cheese Cake Recipe Silky Chilled Classic
- Total Time: 265 minutes
- Yield: 8–10 servings 1x
- Diet: General
Description
This No Bake Cheese Cake Recipe offers a cool, creamy texture with a crisp graham cracker crust, perfect for a special, fast dessert without the oven. It’s an easy-to-follow guide for a silky, chilled classic.
Ingredients
- 2x 8oz cream cheese, full-fat, softened
- 1 can 14oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 cups heavy cream, chilled
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare The Crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie plate or springform pan, creating a solid base. Chill for at least 15 minutes to firm up while preparing the filling.
- Whip The Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat 1.5 cups of heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form and the cream holds its shape.
- Make The Filling: In a separate bowl, beat two blocks of softened cream cheese until it’s perfectly smooth and lump-free. Gradually beat in the 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is fully combined and looks silky.
- Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, just until no streaks remain. Avoid overmixing, as this can deflate the airy texture.
- Assemble And Chill: Pour the prepared filling evenly over your chilled crust in the 9-inch pie plate. Smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until the cheesecake is firm to the touch and perfectly chilled.
Notes
For faster setting, place the cheesecake in the freezer for 1-2 hours then refrigerate. If the filling is too loose, ensure cream cheese was soft and cream whipped to stiff peaks; a brief freezer stint often helps. Consider organic dairy for flavor. For dietary needs, use gluten-free crumbs or nuts for the crust, light cream cheese or sugar-free condensed milk for a healthier version, or vegan cream cheese and coconut cream/milk for a plant-based option.
