Recipes using philadelphia no bake cheesecake filling

Philadelphia No Bake Cheesecake is creamy, delicious and full of flavor. This decadent dessert is topped on a graham cracker crust and topped with your favorite pie filling.

Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts to make. I like making Philadelphia No Bake Cheesecake Recipe because it is no-bake and doesn’t require a lot of ingredients.

This no-fuss Cheesecake filling comes together easily and then fills a graham cracker crust perfectly. Regular cheesecake can require a lot of steps and ingredients. I always worry about overbaking it and it cracking in the middle.

With this No Bake Cheesecake all I have to do is combine the 5 ingredients and then add to a pie crust. Then top with our favorite, cherry pie filling. It really is that easy.

What is No-Bake Cheesecake?

No-bake cheesecake requires no ingredients that you have to bake. There is no eggs or condensed milk required. Plus no need to bake when the filling is made of cream cheese and cool whip which makes the perfect amount of creaminess.

If you are not much of a baker, this is a great recipe to start with. The cheesecake comes out beautifully and you really can’t mess it up.

Ingredients: 

• Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened at room temperature 
• Sour Cream 
• Powdered Sugar
• Vanilla Extract 
• Cool Whip
• Prepared Graham Cracker Crust 
• Cherry Pie Filling, (optional for topping) 

How to Make Philadelphia No Bake Cheesecake: 

• Combine ingredients in a bowl – In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract with a hand held mixer until smooth.  

• Add Cool Whip – Then gently fold in the cool whip. 

• Add to Pie Crust – Pour mixture into pie crust, spread it out evenly, and chill several hours (at least 3-4 hours, preferably overnight).

• Chill, Serve and Enjoy – After chilling for several hours, top with your favorite cheesecake topping and enjoy.

Cheesecake Topping Ideas:

There are many different options when it comes to topping your cheesecake. It is a matter of preference on whether you want sweet sauces, berries, or a crunchy topping.

Can you Freeze No-Bake Cheesecake?

We do not recommend freezing no-bake cheesecake to set it. But you can freeze it after it has been refrigerated for the recommended time.

If you prefer to freeze the no-bake cheese and enjoy later, it will stay good for up to 3 months. Make sure to wrap cheesecake with plastic wrap and then again with aluminum foil.

Double wrapping the cheesecake prevents freezer burn and keeps your cheesecake fresh.

How to Thaw No-Bake Cheesecake:

When you are ready to thaw your cheesecake, we recommend thawing in the refrigerator overnight. Keep the plastic on the cheesecake so it doesn’t absorb any odors in the fridge.

You can also place cheesecake on the counter and it will thaw in about 2 to 4 hours. It will depend on the size of the cheesecake, but you can always check it. Remove the foil while it is thawing.

No Bake Cheesecake Tips:

• Refrigerate – Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
• Softened Cream Cheese – Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing or it will not mix smoothly and you will get big cream cheese lumps. If you are in a hurry, you can cut the cream cheese into smaller pieces to help it soften quicker.
• Vanilla Extract – When preparing your ingredients make sure to use pure vanilla extract.
• Cool Cheesecake – Cheesecake is based served cold. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Variation Ideas:

• Whipped Cream – You can use cold heavy whipping cream instead of cool whip if you prefer. Make sure to beat it until it forms stiff peaks.
• Change the Crust – You can do an Oreo Crust or you can even make your own Homemade Graham Cracker Crust. You can crush graham crackers in a food processor and mix with melted butter.
• Add Some Flavor – For some additional flavors, stir in lemon juice.

Easy No Bake Cheesecake Recipe:

We love this smooth and creamy cheesecake recipe. It is one of my favorite desserts to take for holiday gathering or just to make for my family during the week. Making traditional cheesecakes taste amazing too, but does require more time and isn’t always budget friendly.

The creamy filling is our favorite and with the variation of toppings, this is the perfect dessert to please a crowd.
