FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:

CAN THESE BE FROZEN?

Yes! These must be left in the freezer in air-tight containers, pop a few (or 10!) out, let them soften up just a bit, then go to town!

Jeremy looooooved them and said they tasted just like the cheesecake he loves, score!

To be honest, I’m not sure how great these would be at a party only because if they sit out too long, they do get very soft. Not runny soft but not easily picked up.

So, I would experiment with them before putting them on a huge buffet set up! That being said, they are excellent.

DO I HAVE TO USE WHIPPED TOPPING?

No, it is a faster and easier option, but you can make fresh whipped cream for this.

You will need 1 cup of cold heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.

  • Place the heavy cream in the body of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or into a large bowl with an electric hand mixer and beat until the cream gets foamy over medium-low speed.
  • Add in the vanilla and the powdered sugar a little at a time until mixed in.
  • Crank the speed up to medium and whip until it forms stiff peaks, 3-5 minutes.

Use this in place of the whipped topping called for in the recipe.

HOW MANY GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS FROM ONE SLEEVE OF GRAHAM CRACKERS?

1 sheet of graham crackers (9 whole crackers) equals about 1 & 1/2 cups of crushed graham cracker crumbs.

CAN THESE BE MADE AHEAD?

Absolutely, that is what I love most about this dessert.

The best part is being able to prepare it in advance, keep them in the freezer then serve them up at your convenience.

WHAT OTHER FRUIT CAN I USE?

Almost any berry or fresh fruit can be used. Whole raspberries work well because they will break down on their own while you stir them in.

For other fruit and berries, I suggest chopping them finely before adding them.

FAQs

How do you keep a no-bake cheesecake firm? ›

Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6-8 hours, but overnight is better. For a sturdy no-bake cheesecake with beautifully neat slices, refrigerate for at least 12 hours. This makes for a great make-ahead dessert!

How do you make a no-bake cheesecake set faster? ›

Yes, you can freeze a no-bake cheesecake to hasten its setting time.

How do you thicken a no-bake cheesecake filling? ›

Use Gelatin: Dissolving gelatin in a small amount of warm water and then mixing it into the filling can help stabilize and thicken it. This method is particularly useful if you're making a no-bake cheesecake.

Does no-bake cheesecake get firm? ›

But given time to chill all the way down to 40°F (4°C), which takes about six hours, the filling becomes firm and dense, much more like a "real" cheesecake and far easier to slice. During that time, the filling will lend some of its moisture to the crust, making it considerably less crumbly.

Why won't no bake cheesecake harden? ›

However, heavy cream won't whip up well unless it's cold. That means, you need to ensure both the heavy cream and the cream cheese are fridge-cold. If your ingredients are too warm, you'll end up with a soupy mixture that will never set, no matter how long you leave it in the fridge.

Can you leave no bake cheesecake out overnight? ›

Eggs and cheese have high protein and moisture content, which, when left out at room temperature, can lead to bacteria multiplying. Conditions ripe for bacteria will make the cheesecake unsafe for eating.

Why is my no-bake cheesecake so runny? ›

The primary reason a no-bake cheesecake is too runny or doesn't set up properly is generally the temperature of the ingredients. If your cream cheese is too warm, the mixture will be too soft and will never set up properly.

What consistency should no-bake cheesecake batter be? ›

If you aren't sure if your cheesecake mixture is too soft, or firm enough – think of the cheesecake mixture like meringue. I find that my cheesecake mixture is perfect, when I can pick a dollop up with a spoon or spatula, and the cheesecake mixture stays firm – it doesn't slide off, at all!

Can you over mix no-bake cheesecake? ›

Mixing the filling for longer than the recipe says.

To my regret, I found a super-soft cheesecake waiting the next day as a result.

Should I cover no-bake cheesecake in the fridge? ›

You can cover the crust with plastic wrap or foil as well. Keep the cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Can you eat Philadelphia no-bake cheesecake filling? ›

Yes, Philadelphia makes a 24-ounce tub of pre-made cheesecake filling that you can use directly from the fridge—no baking necessary. The tub has everything you want from the sugary, sweet, cream cheese filling of a cheesecake, and it's ready to serve as-is.

Why is my no bake cheesecake base too hard? ›

If you find that the crumb base is still too hard, then you could slightly reduce the amount of butter used, though we would advise caution on this as the base could become too crumbly instead.

Why is my no-bake cheesecake base too hard? ›

If your cheesecake base is too hard – this can be down to a few things, such as brands of biscuits, too much butter, or a really cold fridge (or if you froze the cheesecake). Generally I stick to a rule of about 100-150g of butter in a biscuit base.

How long can a no-bake cheesecake sit out? ›

No-bake cheesecake must be refrigerated when it is first made to allow it to set properly. It also requires refrigerating for storage and should not sit out longer than two hours for serving. Any leftovers should also be refrigerated.

How do you keep a cheesecake base from getting soggy? ›

Tip: To get more crispness in the cheesecake base, brush some lightly beaten egg white over the surface of the biscuit layer before you bake it. The egg wash will form a layer between the cheesecake base and filling, and this will help to reduce the amount of moisture penetrating the biscuit base.
