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 thicken a no bake cheesecake filling? ›

If your filling is really runny, you can add a little bit of gelatin or cornstarch to thicken it up. Gelatin is great for adding firmness, while cornstarch can thicken the mixture without making it too firm.

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

Yes, you can freeze a no bake cheesecake to help it set. It's better to use the refrigerator and let it set slowly but in a pinch you can help it along by putting it in the freezer for approx. 1 hour. Then let it finish setting in the refrigerator.

Why is my no bake cheesecake not firming up? ›

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.

Why didn't my no bake cheesecake set? ›

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. The second reason your cheesecake won't set can come down to the brand of cream cheese you use.

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

If you leave it in the refrigerator for just a few hours it may be too runny. DO NOT freeze to speed up the firm-up process. No-bake cheesecake needs time to firm up, and speeding up the process by placing it in the freezer won't help. Instead, play by the rules and refrigerate for 6 hours or ideally overnight.

What is the thickening agent in cheesecake? ›

Using Cream and cornstarch is a valid option if you want a cheesecake that has the milky taste that cream brings and the thickness and texture that cornstarch adds.

How long does it take for a no-bake cheesecake to set? ›

The air creates a delicious mousse-like consistency and solidifies the filling in the refrigerator. 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!

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.

Can you over mix no-bake cheesecake? ›

Mixing the filling for longer than the recipe says.

I once tried mixing my filling in the food processor after chilling the crust — because, hey, I had it out to make the crust anyway, so I thought it would make mixing even easier. To my regret, I found a super-soft cheesecake waiting the next day as a result.

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 gritty? ›

A cheesecake can become grainy due to overbeating the eggs, which incorporates too much air and changes the texture. If the cream cheese is not fully softened before mixing, it can result in a grainy texture. Using room temperature ingredients can help. So, your cheesecake is a weird grainy texture – almost like sand?

How long can no-bake cheesecake sit out at room temp? ›

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 thicken a no-bake pie filling? ›

Clear Jel powder {the cooking type} is simply modified corn starch and works well to keep fillings nice and thick whether you are going to cook them right away, or stash in the freezer for later. Clear Jel powder also works great to thicken up cream pies too.

How do I thicken cream cheese for cheesecake? ›

You can quickly and easily thicken cream cheese frosting with icing sugar, corn starch, or by lowering the temperature. If you don't mind the frosting getting sweeter, add 2 tablespoons of icing sugar to the frosting and mix it together until it reaches the consistency that you want.

How much cornstarch to thicken cheesecake? ›

Use a little flour or cornstarch.

Many cheesecake recipes contain a small amount (as little as one tablespoon) of flour or cornstarch.

Why is my cheesecake too soupy? ›

If you've ever made cheesecake that was runny, it's very likely that low-fat ingredients are to blame. Full fat sour cream adds extra moisture and a tangy flavor to the cake. However, you can swap out the sour cream for heavy cream or even full fat Greek yogurt.
