No bake cheesecake with condensed milk and cool whip

No Bake Cheesecake with Condensed Milk

We’ve shared a few different baked cheesecake recipes with you before and they’ve all had very positive feedback. I mean, who doesn’t like cheesecake?

Everyone needs a tried and true no-bake cheesecake recipe too though! For those days when you’re in a hurry, your house is too hot for baking, or you don’t want to worry about cracked cakes, we’ve got this delicious, creamy, no-fail, no-bake cheesecake for you!

No bake cheesecake ingredients

No-Bake Cheesecake Ingredients

Most of the ingredients in this recipe are pretty similar to other cheesecake recipes. Quite simple and easy too!

  • The crust: Made from delicious graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter
  • The filling: Made with cream cheese, whip cream, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon juice
  • The topping: A mixture of strawberries (you could also use raspberries, cherries, or blueberries), Jell-O, and some other simple ingredients.

No bake cheesecake crust

Step 1. The Crust

Start by crushing your graham crackers. You can make this really easy by simply placing the graham crackers in a gallon Ziploc bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. I like to use my pastry pin because I love it!

To keep it even more simple, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter together right in the 9×13 pan! Then press the crust firmly into the bottom of the pan. I use the bottom of a measuring cup to help with this because it is hard and flat. Stick the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you make the filling.

Step 2. The Filling

First of all, you want to let your cream cheese sit out in advance so it can soften to room temperature. Then, using a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice; mix until combined.

P.S. You can make your own sweetened condensed milk with this recipe!

Fold in the whipped topping. Keep folding until it is all mixed together and incorporated. Pour mixture into prepared crust and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until set.

Step 3. Add Your Berries

Cut your berries to the desired size (I slice mine lengthwise) and then place them on top of the cheesecake.

Topping the cheesecake

Step 4. Making the Topping

Last but not least, it’s time to top your no-bake cheesecake off with a delicious gelatin mixture.

In a saucepan, mix together the sugar and cornstarch. Then, add boiling water and cook the mixture over medium heat for a few minutes, until it just begins to thicken. (I like to boil the water in a glass measuring cup in the microwave for a few minutes.)

Next, remove the mixture from heat, add the gelatin powder, and stir until smooth. Let the mixture cool to room temperature and then pour it over top of your berries until they’re evenly covered.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set, and your no-bake cheesecake is ready to enjoy!

Note: As mentioned above, this recipe could also be topped with raspberries, cherries or blueberries.
