Summary

This no-bake lemon cheesecake is the ultimate warm-weather dessert, and you don’t even need to turn on the oven. Just mix, chill, slice, and enjoy.

Ingredients

For the Crust

Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs

3 Tbsp Sugar

6 Tbsp Butter (Melted)

For the Cheesecake Filling

3 Packages (8 Oz Each) Cream Cheese

Cups Confectioners' Sugar

3 Tbsp Lemon Juice

2 Tbsp Lemon Zest

½ Tsp Vanilla Extract

½ Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

Directions

1. Make the Crust

In a large bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until fully combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust. 

Place in the fridge while you make the filling.

2. Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Then, gently fold in the whipped cream until just combined.

3. Assemble & Chill

Transfer the filling to the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or until fully set.

4. Garnish & Serve

Before serving, garnish with lemon slices, berries, or a sprinkle of extra zest. Slice and enjoy your cool, creamy creation!

Notes

1. Use Springfrom

Use a springform pan for easy release and clean slices.

2. Remember to Chill

Don’t skip the chill time—it’s what makes the filling set properly.

3. Storbought is Fine

Use store-bought whipped topping instead of homemade whipped cream.
