How To Make Perfect No Bake Vanilla Cheesecake Recipes

NO BAKE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl add the crushed graham cracker, brown sugar, and butter and mix until incorporated. In a 9 inch springform pan add the graham crackers and press firmly into the bottom and sides. Place in the refrigerator.
• In a large bowl combine the cream cheese, lemon juice, vanilla and sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy. Add in the heavy whipping cream and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
• Spread filling evenly along the crust. Chill for 3 hours or overnight and serve with strawberry topping if desired.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT NO BAKE VANILLA CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Grease and line the base and sides of the springform tin.
• Pulse the Oreos in the food processor (including the fillings) until they reach a fine crumbs consistency.
• Melt butter in the microwave in a small bowl in 10 second intervals and add it to the biscuit crumbs. Pulse until it clumps together.
• Press the mixture into the base and sides of the pan with a metal spoon and freeze to set firm.
• In a mixing bowl, whip together the cream and icing sugar with an electric hand whisk until soft peaks form. Set to one side.
• In another bowl, beat the cream cheese with a spatula until softened.
• Add the caster sugar and beat again until smooth and shiny. (It shouldn't feel grainy on the bottom of the bowl anymore.)
• Mix the soured cream and vanilla into the cream cheese until nicely blended.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese, being careful not to knock out any of the air.
• Pour the filling into the base and smooth out. Refrigerate for 4 hours until completely set.
• Right before serving, top with a mixture of mini meringue nests and mixed berries (i.e. blueberries, cherries, raspberries and strawberries).

NO-BAKE VANILLA CHEESECAKE!

Steps:

• Blitz the biscuits in a food processor to a fine crumb, or bash up in a bowl with a rolling pin, or in a food bag.
• Melt your butter carefully so its liquid, and then mix in with the biscuits. I usually just pour it into the food processor and blitz again.
• Press the Biscuit mixture into the bottom of an 8"/20cm springform deep tin, and refrigerate/freeze whilst you make the filling.
• In a large bowl, or stand mixer, add your cream cheese, icing sugar, vanilla and lemon juice and whisk till smooth. I either use my stand mixer with its whisk attachment, or a hand held electric whisk with their whisk attachments.
• Whisk on a medium speed, until the sugar is mixed into the cream cheese, and the ingredients are evenly distributed. Usually takes about 15-25 seconds or so.
• Add in the liquid double cream, and whisk the mixture till it comes together and becomes thick.
• You can alternatively whisk up the cream separately until stiff peaks, and fold through the cheese mixture.
• I usually mix it on a medium speed, and it should be really thick once done. Its best to under whisk compared to over whisking. If in doubt, whisk a bit, and then mix with a spatula to see how its doing.
• Once whisked, add the cheesecake mixture to the top of the biscuit base, and set it in the fridge for 5-6 hours, or preferably overnight.
• Whisk together the double cream and icing sugar until pipeable, and then decorate your cheesecake.
• Serve your cheesecake as is, or with a chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, berries, coulis... anything you fancy!

NO-BAKE VANILLA CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Butter and line a 23cm loose-bottomed tin with baking parchment. Put the digestive biscuits in a plastic food bag and crush to crumbs using a rolling pin - or blitz in a food processor. Transfer to a bowl, then pour over the melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are completely coated. Tip them into the prepared tin and press firmly down into the base to create an even layer. Chill in the fridge for 1 hr to set firmly.
• To remove the vanilla seeds from their pod, slice the pod in half lengthways, leaving the tip intact, so that the two halves are still joined. Holding onto the tip of the pod, scrape out the seeds using the back of a kitchen knife.
• To make the filling, place the soft cheese, icing sugar and vanilla seeds in a bowl, then beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Tip in the double cream and continue beating until the mixture is completely combined. Now spoon it onto the biscuit base, working from the edges inwards and making sure that there are no air bubbles. Smooth the top of the cheesecake down with the back of a dessert spoon or spatula. Leave to set in the fridge overnight.
• Bring the cheesecake to room temperature about 30 mins before serving. To un-mould, place the base on top of a can, then gradually pull the sides of the tin down. Slip the cake onto a serving plate, removing the lining paper and base. Slice and serve with a fruit compote of your choice.

NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Stir the graham cracker crust ingredients together. Pour into a 9-inch or 10-inch springform pan and pack in very tightly. The tighter it's packed, the less likely it will fall apart when cutting the cheesecake. I recommend using the bottom of a measuring cup to pack it into the bottom and up the sides. You can watch me do this in the video above. Freeze for 10-20 minutes as you prepare the filling.
• Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the cold heavy cream into stiff peaks on medium-high speed, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside.
• Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together on medium speed until perfectly smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the confectioners' sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat for 2-3 minutes on medium-high speed until smooth and combined. Make sure there are no large lumps of cream cheese. If there are lumps, keep beating until smooth.
• Using your mixer on low speed or a rubber spatula, fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake filling until combined. This takes several turns of your rubber spatula. Combine slowly as you don't want to deflate all the air in the whipped cream.
• Remove crust from the freezer and spread filling into crust. Use an offset spatula to smooth down the top.
• Cover tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours and up to 2 days. For best results, 12 hours is best. I chill mine overnight. The longer refrigerated, the nicer the no-bake cheesecake will set up.
• Use a knife to loosen the chilled cheesecake from the rim of the springform pan, then remove the rim. Using a clean sharp knife, cut into slices for serving. For neat slices, wipe the knife clean between each slice.
• Serve cheesecake with desired toppings (see Note). Cover and store leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

VANILLA NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE WITH A CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST

Steps:

• Grease a 9" springform pan with cooking spray or softened butter. Line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
• To make the crust, process the cookies, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor until the cookies are finely ground. Pour in the butter and vanilla and process until the mixture holds together when squeezed. Alternatively, you may place the dry ingredients in a sealed resealable plastic bag, cover it with a tea towel, and crush the crackers with a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl and stir in the melted butter and vanilla. Scrape the crust mixture into the prepared pan and firmly press it into the bottom and 1" up the sides, using your fingers. Place the crust in the freezer while you make the filling.
• To make the filling, briefly beat the cream cheese on medium-low speed in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, just until smooth, scraping the bowl with a flexible spatula as needed. Beat in the sweetened condensed milk and salt just until combined, and then the lemon juice and vanilla. Turn off the mixer as soon as all the ingredients are incorporated. Do not overmix or the cream cheese will lose structure. Scrape the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with an offset spatula or butter knife. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 5 hours, but preferably overnight.
• When ready to serve, remove the sides of the pan and, if you would like to remove the base (though you don't have to), slide a long, serrated knife between the crust and the parchment paper and transfer the cake to a serving plate. Slice the cake with a large chef's knife that's been dipped in hot water and dried in between slices. Serve with a dusting of cocoa powder (if using). Keep the cake, wrapped, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
