❤️ Why you'll love it

  • Just 5 ingredients plus a graham cracker crust
  • Only 5 minute prep time and it has such a creamy texture!

Is it a cheesecake? Is it a pie?

It's a delicious combination of both!

The best thing about this creamy dessert, though, is that it is SO versatile. You can adapt it for just about any flavor and for just about any holiday! It's one of my favorite desserts for patriotic holidays all summer long.

Be sure to read the variations for ideas.

🥫 Storage

You can store this easy no-bake cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It starts getting a bit watery after that.

If you have a special, airtight pie container that's perfect! If not, wrap it carefully in layers of plastic wrap (spray the plastic wrap with no stick spray so your filling won't stick to it) and refrigerate.

Be careful though, it will pick up strong odors - you don't wan't you pie tasting like the fish you caught a couple of days ago

It also freezes well.

Using a purchased graham cracker crust saves even more time.

💭 Tips

Expert Tip: Be sure to have the cream cheese at room temperature or warm it up a bit before using. That way it will blend easily into the rest of the filling.

  • Although this no bake cheesecake needs to be chilled a minimum of two hours, for best results let it chill overnight.
  • Slices will be prettier if you freeze the pie for 30 minutes before serving.
  • This is delicious with cherry pie filling spooned on top!
  • I use evaporated milk because I think it makes the filling creamier. You can use whole milk.

👩‍🍳 FAQs

What is no bake cheesecake filling made of?

Cream cheese, of course, sugar, and usually whipped cream or Cool Whip. Adding instant pudding helps this recipe hold up and have a creamy, velvety texture.

Why did my no bake cheesecake not set?

There are a variety of reasons that a no bake cheesecake doesn't set up. If you used a low fat or fat free cream cheese, or a whipped cream cheese it won't set up. You may not have let it chill long enough. Overnight is best.

Can you put a no bake cheesecake in the freezer to set?

It's best to let it set in the refrigerator and then put it in the freezer about 30 minutes before you want to slice it. That will give you nice, firm slices.

📖 Variations

  • Use different sprinkles for different holidays
  • Substitute chocolate pudding and use an Oreo crust for a chocolate no bake cheesecake
  • Make the chocolate version and substitute ¼ cup strong, cold coffee for ¼ cup of the milk for mocha cheesecake
  • Cherry pie filling tastes amazing on top
  • Slice bananas in the bottom of the pie shell and use banana pudding in the cheesecake filling
  • Lemon pudding topped with blueberry pie filling
  • Use a homemade graham cracker crust or another type of crumb crust

📞 The last word

Maybe it's because I live in Texas where we get 110 degree days in the summer but I think a no bake dessert is perfect for the summer months!

My grandmother used to make a lemon dessert similar to this (and I'll be sharing that soon) and I adapted her old recipe to make this white chocolate no-bake cheesecake.

Don't get me wrong - we all know how much I love a baked cheesecake but easy recipes are the bombdiggity when I am trying to enjoy summer along with everyone else.

So pretty for the 4th of July and all your summer cookouts!
