Cheesecake Recipe Easy

This No Bake Cheesecake is a 10-minute prep (plus chilling time), no-bake, foolproof way to make cheesecake, the easy way. And, it’s utterly delicious. Utterly simple. And one you’ll make often!

Perfect for the warm months when you want to keep the oven off — and still have a decadent treat.

While traditional cheesecakes are incredibly yummy, they can be challenging even for the pros. In this no-bake cheesecake recipe, there is no water bath method to employ, no risk of the surface cracking, and the oven, as mentioned, remains off.

It’s a cheesecake, made in about 10 minutes, that requires no oven, no baking, and very little time. Much like my No Bake 3 Ingredient Chocolate Pie, this dessert is made with simple ingredients, a few turns of a spatula, and chilling time.

It’s simple, it’s beautiful, and perfect for those days when you crave homemade cheesecake but want it quick and easy.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups (143g) graham cracker crumbs 9 to 10 whole graham crackers crushed
  • 1/4 cup (28g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) butter melted
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • two 8-ounce packages (452g) cream cheese at room temperature
  • 2/3 cup (133g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon King Arthur Pure Vanilla Extract

Instruction:

Select a pie pan whose inside top dimension is at least 9″, and whose height is at least 1 1/4″. Preheat the oven to 350°F., To make the crust: Stir together all of the crust ingredients, mixing until thoroughly combined., Press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan, making a thicker layer on the bottom than on the sides., To make the filling: Mix together the room-temperature cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in the eggs and vanilla, again mixing until smooth. To avoid beating too much air into the batter, use a mixer set at low-medium speed. To avoid lumps, make sure the cream cheese is softened, and/or at room temperature., Set the pie pan onto a baking sheet, if desired; this makes it easier to transport in and out of the oven, and also protects the bottom of the crust from any potential scorching. Pour the filling into the crust., To bake the cheesecake: Place the cheesecake in the oven. Bake it for 20 minutes, then add a crust shield; or shield the crust with strips of aluminum foil. Bake for an additional 10 minutes (for a total of about 30 minutes). A digital thermometer inserted into the filling 1″ from the edge should read between 165°F and 170°F; the filling won’t look entirely set in the center., Remove the cheesecake from the oven and set it on a rack to cool. Once the cake is cool, refrigerate it, covered, until you’re ready to serve it., Serve cheesecake in wedges, with fresh fruit if desired. , Storage information: Store any leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator for several days; freeze for longer storage.
