No-Bake Cheesecake Recipe

[@shortaybrown]

Great recipe for a hot day. There’s another way to make a no bake cheesecake. Make it with 1 pound of cream cheese, and 1 pound of unsalted ricotta cheese, and a spoon of sour cream. Add sugar and zest of 1 lemon, and the juice of 1/3 of a lemon, Plus a dash of vanilla. Than mix it up, using a hand beater until it’s smooth and fluffy. Then put it in the pie dish onto- of the crust and chill. This is a good one, because it doesn’t taste too much like whip cream, it still has that official cheesecake, taste, and texture. Stay cool. Thanks!

[@Jacksonsjob]

Thank you! Hope all is well with you. 😊

Okay, that looks easy enough. I've made no bake cheesecake for years using the box mix or the premade tub (don't judge me 😆) I'm excited to give this recipe a try! I'll use the cool whip...ah... whip topping. I'm not brand conscious either, if the store brand taste good, I'm buying it.

[@Jacksonsjob]

Do you know how hard I wanted to say cool whip? I’m too poor and cheap to afford most name brands. 🤣 You get no judgment from me those tubs and boxed mixes are not bad and I used to make them all the time when I was first married. Probably how I gained so much weight. 😳😁😂🤣

🥵No bake looks delicious,thank you Sara😊I think whipped topping is part of the classic flavor👍Just like American cheese😅delicious on a homemade breakfast sandwich. I hope you had a great time off.🙋‍♀️

[@Jacksonsjob]

I agree. Sometimes, you have to embrace the processed foods. After all, they did come up with Oreos. 🤣 I've been ripping trim and starting some remodeling in the kitchen and it is be a bit of a mess in the meantime. How have you been?

[@emmabenuska699]

Good thanks, same old same old,lol. A new project for you Cool😁. Oh yeah,I cooked some flatbread in the cast iron skillet on the stove It's very tasty🥙.I can hang clothes to dry in the warm weather,They smell so good. I lose at game night playing a card game Up &Down the Ladder or River but it's fun and no money involved. Good point about Oreos they are processed food aren't they 😅oh well. Did I ever say Scout is such a cute name for the kitty🤗 Sorry if this is late for you(midnight)hopefully the notification isn't loud🙉🙋‍♀️ Can't wait to try this cheesecake Thanks Sara!

I honestly have to brick my phone after 20 minutes of activity daily except for text and phone calls due to these migraines. So you can type away all hours and I will respond when my phone lets me. 🤣😳 The game nights sound like a ton of fun! We used to have game nights back in the day but it seems interest was lost over the years as families began and people became increasingly involved in social media over in person gatherings. It’s so awesome you have friends that still enjoy each others company.

[@emmabenuska699]

And thanks for showing the whip cream version!

[@Jacksonsjob]

You're welcome! I will say everyone that ate each of the cheescakes preferred the whipped topping variety and said the one made with whipped cream was nice, but not cheesecakey enough. lol

[@emmabenuska699]

@@Jacksonsjob And probably more economical with cool whip whip topping than buying a pint of heavy cream

[@Jacksonsjob]

Oh boy, yes. I got the generic tub on a great sale. The cream was pricey even with being generic.

[@emmabenuska699]

@@Jacksonsjob I was thinking I needed to go to the store today My half &half is tasting bad but I have a couple individual creams so that would be fine..Butttt I want to a no bake cheese cake.Thanks for the reminder 👍 That other cake sounds delicious but how much sugar what size pan,make your crust I guess😁

[@Jacksonsjob]

Haha. I just went and looked and saw there wasn’t sugar listed. But given the ingredients, it would fit in a 9” pie pan. I would start out with 1/3 cup of sugar and go up to suit taste. There’s also another no bake cheesecake I ran into while creating this recipe that is two pkgs of cream cheese combined with 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1 can condensed sweetened milk. But there were a lot of mixed reviews on it and I wasn’t keen of using two packages of cream cheese on a recipe with iffy results.

[@tastynutritiousdelicious]

Your cheesecake looks yummy! I made a no bake cheesecake a little while ago too 💖

[@Jacksonsjob]

Thank you! They are fun to make. 😊

[@karenbearden6198]

Ha ha that lil Maggie darling knows how good whipped cream is! I do usually whip my topping because I always have cream but not the store bought topping. You have demonstrated why it doesn't have that same tanginess! (Is that a word?lol) I do think I like them both though. Be interesting to try it both ways and really compare the difference. Thank you sooooooo much for doing this. Sorry it broke your mixer.:( Look forward to the kitchen remodel hope it goes well! Glad you are back.:)

[@Jacksonsjob]

I really think what is happening is the cream’s pH is cancelling out some of the acidity in the cream cheese and sour cream or yogurt. Kind of how adding a pinch of baking soda tones down tomatoes. Losing the acidity takes away the tang from your taste buds and allows the cream to dominate. It was honestly really fun to compare the differences. Check out the comment from Edgar I pinned on this recipe from another viewer. There’s now another no bake recipe to try! It sounds even more promising as it doesn’t have whipped topping or cool whip. My poor mixer. I knew better. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I tell you though, for a twenty dollar mixer it sure did a fabulous job for several years until I stripped the plastic gears. This new one keeps trying to fall off the counter. That’s why I was using a plate. When I tried to sit it upright, it wanted to flip backwards. 🤣

I don't know about your neck of the wood but, up here in Canada we are struggling with forest fires, high temperatures , crazy humidity, smog from the forest fires (900 last count), tornados and torrential rain. So, having a hot oven is not really encouraged and a "No Bake" recipe is a welcome sight.

[@Jacksonsjob]

I hope you are staying safe up there, Mr. Neil. We aren’t in as dire shape but the humidity and heat wave is coming from the fires. It’s so awful that it doesn’t seem to be letting up for you folks. We are in a holler (valley between mountains) and the smoke gets trapped down here. We finally got rains this week which helped with the smoke and heat, but it’s very soupy humid outside.

[@nzs316]

@@Jacksonsjob This goes as far back as June 8-9 when I went to dismantle the barn. To get to our country place, we drive along the Ottawa river valley and the smoke from the forest fires rose to an elevation between 1000-2000 feet. Truly a scene from Dante’s Inferno. It’s so muggy the local authorities suggest that we do not open our windows because of the smog. So I haven’t baked bread in two weeks now. Gosh we even had tornadoes go through my area last Thursday with torrential rains there was so much water that the sewer systems of the city couldn’t handle it and everything flooded. In fact I had just finished a basement renovation from the ice storm from April and we were about to put the carpet in and then we had the storm last Thursday were her basement flooded again. So we had to cancel the carpet installation the next day. And I just saw on the news two nights ago when my eye caught a flooded basement and I looked at it and I said, I know that basement I had renovated that three story house! She had a foot of water in her basement and everything was ruined. She had poop coming out of the toilet gurgling up like a geyser. People are at their wits end and researching autonomous power generation and now sewage protection. Something akin to a septic tank to handle the sewage drainage problem. Love the Appalachian twist on a valley. My Ottawa valley will now be referred to as a “holler”.

[@Jacksonsjob]

Oh man! It really sounds like a huge mess up your way. I hate that for you. The infrastructure is failing in the city we used to live in. Any time it rained, our basement flooded. A few years back after we moved, the entire southside was under a lot of water. People were being boated out, homes destroyed from the sewage and flood damage. We were so lucky to have left as we saw our old house and backyard was pretty bad. I really hope that your water was not too terrible. Ottawa Holler has a good ring to it. Northern folk say hollow I believe. I’m not completely sure. 🤔 Stay safe, my friend!
