Time 3h30m

Yield Makes one 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 packages (20 sheets) graham crackers
11 tablespoons (1 3/8 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 14-ounce can (1 1/4 cups) sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Put graham crackers in a large resealable plastic bag, and crush them with a rolling pin until very fine crumbs form.
  • Pour crumbs into a medium bowl; stir in sugar. Add butter, and stir until well combined.
  • Press the crumb mixture into a 9-inch springform pan, spreading it 1 1/2 to 2 inches up the side; press flat. Chill crust in freezer at least 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Using an electric mixer set at medium-high speed, beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the condensed milk a little at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl, as necessary. Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla.
  • Pour the filling into the crust; smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
  • Unclasp sides of pan, and remove cheesecake.

Time 8h45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces graham crackers (about 18 sheets), broken into pieces
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
11 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Three 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla-bean paste
Fresh berries, for serving

Steps:

  • For the crust: Add the graham crackers, brown sugar and salt to a food processor and pulse to fine crumbs. Drizzle in the butter and pulse until the crumbs are completely coated with the butter.
  • Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan, with a 1/4-inch thick rim around the border. (Use the bottom of a measuring cup to help make the crust even on the sides and bottom.) Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • For the filling: Meanwhile, whip 3/4 cup of the cream in a medium bowl with a whisk until stiff, fluffy peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes (or 1 to 2 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed); set aside.
  • Beat the cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the lemon juice, sour cream and vanilla-bean paste and beat until just combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream-cheese mixture with a large rubber spatula.
  • Pour the batter into the springform pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Cover tightly and refrigerate until set, 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Just before serving, add the remaining 3/4 cup cream and 1/4 cup granulated sugar to a medium bowl and whip to soft peaks with a whisk, 3 to 4 minutes (or 1 to 2 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed). Spoon the whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
  • Run a knife around the inside edge of the springform pan to loosen the cake, then open the clasps to release the pan ring. Pipe dollops of whipped cream around the border of the cheesecake and top with fresh berries.

SUPER-EASY NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE



Super-Easy No-Bake Cheesecake image

I was looking up cheesecake recipes, and they all either seemed too hard or needed baking. I made this up, it's sort of a combination of several of the recipes I found. The consistency is lovely, and it's pretty addictive. It is very rich, that's how I like it. I suppose you could freeze it if you wanted, but I haven't tried. It was perfectly good from the fridge. Excellent topped in homemade whipped cream!!

5-Ingredient No-Bake Cheesecake image

Easy 5-ingredient no-bake cheesecake. It's all about chemistry. The most important part of this recipe is to leave the cream cheese out for a couple of hours at room temperature before mixing. Not doing so, will create lumps of cream cheese that will affect the flavor of this pie.

EASIEST NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE



Easiest No-Bake Cheesecake image

Just like the title states, this is the easiest no-bake cheesecake. The filling has a slight citrus flavor but it's not overwhelming. It's creamy with the flavor of a traditional filling but not as firm. Paired with the fruit topping, it's a delicious flavor combination. A great no-bake dessert.

Categories     Pies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 - graham cracker pie crust
1 package(s) softened cream cheese, 8 oz.
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
1 can(s) eagle brand sweetened condensed milk (do not use a generic brand... generic brands are more watery and the cheesecake won't set up correctly)
1/3 cup(s) lemon juice
1 can(s) favorite pie filling (cherry, strawberry or blueberry), 1 lb. 5 oz.

Steps:

  • Beat cream cheese in mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  • Add sweetened condensed milk; blend thoroughly.
  • Stir in lemon juice and vanilla.
  • Turn into the pie crust.
  • Cover and refrigerate 2-3 hours or until firm (can do overnight); do not freeze. Chill pie filling when chilling the cheesecake.
  • Top with chilled pie filling before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make your no-bake cheesecake even more delicious. Use full-fat cream cheese, real butter, and pure vanilla extract for the best results.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature: This will make it easier to mix and will help to create a smooth, creamy filling.
  • Don't overbeat the cream cheese: Overbeating can cause the filling to become grainy. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the filling to set and firm up.
  • Use a springform pan for easy removal: A springform pan will allow you to easily remove the cheesecake from the pan without damaging it.
  • Be creative with your toppings: You can top your no-bake cheesecake with anything you like, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

No-bake cheesecake is a delicious, easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a creamy, decadent cheesecake that is sure to impress your friends and family.
