How To No-Bake Cheesecake Recipe
The Graham Cracker Crust –
Start by forming your crust with crushed graham crackers, melted butter and a little bit of sugar. Press the crumbs into a springform pan and up the sides. Place in the freezer for at least 15 minutes, while you prepare your filling.
The Filling –
Beat the cream cheese and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the lemon juice, vanilla and sour cream until fully combined. In a separate bowl beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and then pour into the prepared crust.
The Chilling –
Use an offset spatula or rubber spatula to smooth the top of the filling, then cover and place in the fridge for 5 to 6 hours, or preferably overnight for the best texture.
Crucial Tips For Success:

- CHILL IT The key is to give proper chilling time in the fridge to allow your no bake cheesecake to set up. You’ll need at least 5 to 6 hours, but preferably 12 hours to overnight. DO NOT place it in the freezer to set up.
