Recipes for Cheesecake – Red, White & Blue No Bake Cheesecake

This cheesecake is great because you do not have to bake it. You also can have it ready the same day. No waiting overnight! The end result is absolutely divine! Here is what you need for this wonderful dessert:

2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
1 cup melted butter
¼ cup sugar
2 – 8 oz. packages cream cheese
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. lemon juice
2 cups heavy cream – very cold
8 oz. strawberries – hulled and sliced
8 oz. blueberries
½ cup confectioner’s sugar

  • Mix the cracker crumbs with the sugar and butter in a bowl. Make sure it sticks.
  • Place the crumbs into the bottom of a spring-form pan. Press the crumbs on the bottom and sides, evenly. Set pan aside.
  • Place the cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar, vanilla and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix until you have a smooth cream.
  • Place the cold cream into another bowl. Mix until thick but not stiff.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese. Once it is mixed go ahead and whisk it to get rid of any lumps. Pour cream into prepared pan. Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • While the cake is chilling – mix the strawberries and blueberries in a bowl. Add the confectioner’s sugar and gently mix into the fruit. Set aside until fruit renders juice.
  • Remove the cake from the fridge. Release the sides of the pan and place the cake in a platter. Fix any edges that might be uneven with a knife. Top with the berries and serve. Enjoy!

    Maryann,

    can you please tell me how deep the 9″ spring pan is in this video. I purchased a 9″ spring form pan to make this on thanksgiving and it does not look as deep as the one you are using. Thanks.

    Hi Christopher!
    Sorry for taking so long in replying! To be honest this pan is in storage in Bolivia and I am in Vanuatu! If memory serves me right, this pan is about 2 inches tall. I hope this helps and everything works out great! Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for stopping by!
    Mary Ann
