Ingredients for No-Bake Cheesecake:

150g or 5oz of cookies, Graham crackers or digestive biscuits
5½ tbsp of unsalted butter
500g or 18oz of full-fat cream cheese, cold
1 cup of heavy cream, cold
½ cup of fine white sugar
2 tsp of vanilla extract, optional

How to Make No-bake Cheesecake:

Step 1

Crush the cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs, then add them to a bowl of melted butter, and fold them until incorporated. Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper, then grease it with butter or nonstick cooking spray, and transfer the cookie crumb mixture.

Step 2

Spread it evenly, then press it down firmly, and let it chill in the fridge while preparing the filling. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the cold cream cheese, then pour in the heavy cream, and add the fine white sugar and vanilla extract (if using).

Step 3

Beat them over medium-high speed until whipped and somehow stiff, then transfer it to the chilled crust spreading it evenly, and then cover it with plastic wrap. Allow it to chill for a few hours before topping it with any topping that you want, then serve, and enjoy!
