Description

This creamy and easy Philadelphia no-bake cheesecake is made with just a handful of ingredients and comes together in minutes—no oven needed! With a classic graham cracker crust and smooth, fluffy filling, it’s perfect for any occasion. Chill it, top it with fruit or pie filling, and serve!


Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 and 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Filling:

  • 2 packages (8 oz each) Philadelphia cream cheese, softened

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

Optional Toppings:

  • Cherry pie filling

  • Fresh berries

  • Chocolate or caramel drizzle


Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate or springform pan. Chill while preparing the filling.

  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

  3. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.

  4. Spoon the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top.

  5. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until firm.

  6. Top with your favorite fruit or sauce before serving.


Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for the smoothest texture.

  • For a firmer crust, bake the graham crust at 350°F for 8 minutes, then cool before adding filling.

  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
