How to Make No-Bake Cheesecakes

These really are easy to make. The basic steps usually go something like this:

  • Set your cream cheese out to soften. This is important.
  • If you’re making your own crust, you crush cookies or graham crackers into crumbs and mix them with melted butter
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of a pan and chill in the refrigerator while you make the filling
  • Mix the pie filling ingredients in a bowl.
  • Put the topping in the chilled crust.
  • Put the whole pie back in the fridge for at least a few hours, and preferably overnight.
  • Serve with fruit, chocolate fudge sauce, or any topping you like.
