Description

This no-bake cheesecake is my basic vanilla cheesecake recipe that can be used to create so many different variations. This recipe will give you a rich, creamy and decadent dessert that sets firm in the refrigerator. It is also quick, easy, and light.

Ingredients 

For the Crust

Cheesecake

  • 2 cups (680 g) Cream cheese Mascarpone or Philadelphia
  • ½ cup (120 ml) Sour cream 27%
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Heavy cream 38%
  • ½ cup (100 g) Powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch or potato starch
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • ½ tsp Salt

Instructions

  • Cookie crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.
    8 oz Graham crackers, 2 tbsp Brown sugar, 4 oz Butter
  • Make the filling: Whip the heavy cream in a bowl until stiff peaks and set aside. In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar, cornstarch, salt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat until well combined. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
    2 cups Cream cheese, ½ cup Sour cream, 1 cup Heavy cream, ½ cup Powdered sugar, 2 tbsp Cornstarch, 2 tsp Vanilla extract, 1 tbsp Lemon juice, ½ tsp Salt
  • Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until it's firm and set.
  • Add toppings and serve: Before serving, top the cheesecake with your choice of berries, chocolate shavings, or whipped cream border. Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and place it on a serving plate.
  • This no-bake cheesecake is versatile and can be customized with different flavors or additions according to your preferences.
