I think cheesecakes are the ultimate dessert. Maybe the ultimate food. It is absolutely perfect in every way. It blends delicious flavors, beautifully. It is a stunner when it comes to looks. It makes your house smell ah-mazing. And your stomach, so happy. It comes in so many different flavors. They all seem to taste great, don’t they? Cherry cheesecake has got to be one of my favorite cheesecakes of all time. Excuse me while I wipe away my drool.

But here’s the thing. Sometimes, you just don’t have the time to bake an entire cheesecake. Right? And you’d rather not splurge on a ready-made cheesecake. Because the good ones cost $$$. So how do you get your cheesecake fix?

You make the no-bake version!

But Marina, that’s an abomination!

Oh, but it won’t taste anything like a real cheesecake!

It’s not a cheesecake if it isn’t baked!

Listen, I love the classic springform pan cheesecake just as much as the next. But sometimes those cravings strike. And I’d rather wait an hour to devour it than 5.

Do you know what else I love about this recipe?

It’s a great party dessert. Make as much, or as little as you need.
It’s a fool-proof recipe. Classic cheesecake can be a tricky business. But it’s really hard to mess up a no-bake cheesecake!

Even little hands enjoy this! I’ve noticed that little ones sometimes have a tough time getting through the texture of a classic cheesecake. This is a great option!

Next time a cheesecake craving strikes, make yourself this no-bake version. I promise it won’t disappoint!

Here’s what you’ll need to quickly put this cheesecake together:

cream cheese
