I absolutely love this No Bake Cheesecake Recipe! The bottom of this cheesecake is made with a simple four-ingredient graham cracker crust and the topping is so creamy and fluffy. This No Bake Cheesecake Recipe is also very easy to throw together and you don’t even have to turn on the oven to make it.

How to make a No Bake Cheesecake
Start by adding graham crackers into a food processor or blender and completly crush them. In a large bowl add crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and salt. Mix graham cracker crust with a whisk until all ingredients are combined. Transfer crust to a spring form pan lined with parchment paper and press crust firmly on the bottom and sides of the pan with a tall glass. Make sure to compact crust as much as possible to ensure the crust holds together when cutting. Place crust in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
Cream Cheese Filling
In a large bowl add very softened cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla. Using a hand mixer beat ingredients until smooth and creamy. In a medium size bowl beat heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer until it reaches a soft peak. Fold Whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Pour cream cheese filling into the prepared crust, cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Important note on cream cheese: It is very important that your cream cheese is very soft to avoid any clumps. Microwave cream cheese for at least 90 seconds and stir for a smooth consistency.
Do I have to use a spring form pan?
If you do not have a spring form pan, you can use a pie dish for this no bake cheesecake. If you do this, you will want to cut the graham cracker crust recipe in half. You can also use a prepared graham cracker crust if you are short on time.
How to serve Easy No Bake Cheesecake
Once cheesecake has had time to set up in the fridge, release the spring form and remove cheesecake. Slice into 10 pieces and top with your favorite fruit toppings:
- Fresh raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries
- Fruit Puree
- Fresh whipped cream
