Why Choose a No-Bake Cheesecake? Simplicity Meets Perfection

Many dessert enthusiasts wonder why they should opt for a no-bake cheesecake over a traditional baked one. The answer lies in its remarkable simplicity and foolproof nature. One of the primary advantages of a no-bake cheesecake is that it doesn’t require eggs, which are a common culprit for cracking and denseness in baked cheesecakes. This means you bypass the often-complicated steps of a water bath and the anxiety of potential cracks, making it nearly impossible to ‘mess up’. It’s truly an easy-peasy dessert that delivers professional-looking results without the stress of oven-baking. The absence of baking also contributes to its lighter, airier texture, a welcome change from the richness of its baked counterpart.

This recipe streamlines the process, allowing you to create a magnificent dessert with minimal effort and maximum impact.

Ingredients

▢ Servings: 14
▢ Prep Time: 15 minutes
▢ Set Time: 4-5 hours or overnight

Crust:

▢ 2 cups golden Oreo crumbs
▢ 3 Tablespoons butter- melted
▢ ¼ teaspoon salt
▢ 1 teaspoon red gel food color

Filling:

▢ 2-8 oz. packages of cream cheese- softened
▢ 2 cups powdered sugar
▢ 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
▢ 2 cups heavy whipping cream
▢ 3.94 oz. package of blue raspberry Jell-O
▢ 1 cup boiling water

Topping:

▢ 6 oz. cream cheese- softened
▢ 6 Tablespoons butter- softened
▢ 3 cups powdered sugar
▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ Fresh blueberries
▢ Fresh strawberries- halved

Instructions

Crust:

Add the Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until you have about 2 cups of crumbs. Add in the butter, salt, and food coloring and pulse until everything is combined and the color is evenly distributed.
Prepare a 9” springform pan by spraying lightly with non-stick spray and pour in the crumbs. Press firmly with a clean hand or the back of a spoon to form the crust. Be sure to bring some of the crumbs up the side of the pan as well.
Place the crust in the freezer and prepare the filling.

Filling:

In a glass measuring cup, add 1 cup of boiling water and the blueberry Jell-O mix and whisk to combine. Set aside to cool.
Prepare the whipped cream by adding 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment. Whisk for 4-5 minutes or until soft peaks form. Set aside.
In another medium bowl, add the cream cheese, remaining one cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and cream together for at least 5 minutes. Be sure that the mixture is nice and smooth and there are no lumps.
Take half of the whipped cream mixture and add into the cream cheese mixture and fold until combined.
Add the blueberry Jell-O into the remaining half of the whipped cream mixture and whisk until everything is combined.
Remove the crust from the freezer and layer the white cream cheese mixture on top of the crust and smooth with an offset spatula or spoon.
Carefully pour the blue Jell-O layer on top of the cream cheese
Place the cheesecake level in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours but I find it is best to let it set overnight.

Topping:

Once the cheesecake is set, make the cream cheese frosting by adding the cream cheese and butter into the bowl of a stand mixer or use a hand mixer and cream for 4-5 minutes until smooth.
Add in the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Slowly add in the powdered sugar one cup at a time, making sure that each cup is combined before adding the next.
Place the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe swirls around the edge of the cheesecake and top with strawberry halves and fresh blueberries.
Serve and enjoy!
