What is No Bake Cheesecake?

So what exactly is a no-bake cheesecake?

Simply put it’s a cheesecake that’s never seen the inside of an oven.

Neither the crust nor the filling is baked, making it truly a no-bake dessert.

Hello, new friends! It’s Abbey from The Butter Half (the world’s punniest food blog), and I am so excited to share my super easy no-bake peanut butter Nutella cheesecake with you today.

How do you make no-bake cheesecake?

I’ve finally answered all of your great baking questions. The secret ingredient to no-bake cheesecake is in the cream cheese! Omit the eggs, and it sets in the refrigerator or freezer in a matter of hours. Also, it tastes just as amazing as the real deal. While the the real stuff is incredible, it’s hard to go back to making regular cheesecake after realizing how simple this version is. And the flavor options are endless, too!

Nutella is a great recipe addition

If there is one thing about me you should know, it’s that I love Nutella. It seems like I find myself using it in my recipes rather often, whether I simply slather it on some adorable conversation toast, mix it into a ridiculously sinful (and delicious) Nutella donut milkshake, or whisk it into a gluten-free peanut butter Nutella cookie! (You noticing a theme here yet? I can’t help it! Peanut butter and chocolate is too good!)

What I love about Nutella in this recipe, is how it adds the perfect balance of sweetness to the more earthy cream cheese and peanut butter flavors. It’s probably one of the best dessert combinations. And don’t even get me started on the graham cracker crust! My trick is always adding a pinch of cinnamon to any cheesecake or pie crust. As a result, it gives it that extra something.

How Long Can You Keep a No Bake Cheesecake in the Fridge?

The cheesecake will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

It’s best to keep it tightly wrapped in plastic wrap.

For best results, keep your cheesecake in the freezer until the night before you’d like to serve it.
