    This no fail no bake cheesecake is made from dream whip and cream cheese and so easy to make. It's smooth and creamy yet light, fluffy and delicious. This recipe has a flavorful and lightly tart raspberry topping, but you could top it with any cheesecake topping.

    Quick & Easy

    This no bake cheesecake is quick and easy! It doesn't take a lot of skill the way regular cheesecake does. It does need a few hours to set up in the refrigerator, so you will need to make it ahead though!

    How to Make No Bake Cheesecake

    Start with the graham cracker crust. Graham crackers have fewer crackers in them than they used to, which is why it calls for 1 package plus 2 sheets of graham crackers. Crush the graham crackers. I use a food processor and stop when it still has a few larger crumbs. Pour the graham crackers into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Melt the butter and pour it on top of the crumbs and mix with a fork. Once they're well combined, press the graham mixture into the bottom of the pan.

    Next make the filling. Dream whip isn't used a lot, but trust me it will keep the filling light and fluffy and... dreamy ;). It's great because it also doesn't break down and melt as easily as whipped cream. Make one package of Dream Whip according to the directions on the box. Then add ⅓ cup of sugar and mix until it isn't grainy (about 30 seconds). In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, milk and sugar and mix until smooth. Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the Dream Whip mixture. Gently spread the mixture on top of the graham cracker crust and place in the refrigerator.

    Then make the topping. Put the raspberries and sugar in a saucepan. Measure the water, lemon juice and corn starch into a bowl and mix with a fork or small whisk. Pour the corn starch mixture over the raspberry mixture in the saucepan and stir. The mixture will be a little milky looking due to the corn starch. Heat over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. As soon as it starts to bubble, stir constantly. As it boils and you stir, the milky look will go away and it will be darker, more translucent and clear. After all of the pinky milky looking parts are gone, it's done! Set it to the side to cool for no more than 5 minutes. Spread on top of the cream cheese mixture and allow to set 2-4 hours.

    Tips & Tricks

    This same recipe can be made with any berry! My absolute favorite flavor is raspberry huckleberry. If you have access to huckleberries, try this amazing treat with them! Blueberry, triple berry and strawberry are all great too!

    Unfortunately, this no bake cheesecake doesn't store well. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It doesn't "go bad" per se, but it will start to separate a bit.

      This is truly easy and delicious! Takes minimal time. We like this with also adding some fresh berries on top also. If you want to impress people with something “homemade” but need it to be quick, this should be your go-to to take to a friend’s or a potluck! Thanks for the recipe Andrea and Nicole!
