This 10-Minute No-Bake Cheesecake is the perfect solution for a fast and fuss-free dessert. With a buttery graham cracker crust and rich cream cheese filling, it’s light, creamy, and topped with your favorite fruits or sauces. Ideal for busy days, last-minute guests, or when you’re craving something sweet without turning on the oven.
Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan or pie dish. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to create a smooth, even surface. For an extra-crisp crust, refrigerate for 10 minutes while preparing the filling.
Pro Tip: Add ½ teaspoon of cinnamon to your crust mixture for a warming flavor dimension that beautifully complements the tangy cheesecake filling.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar gradually while continuing to beat, ensuring there are no lumps. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon juice until fully incorporated.
Pro Tip: Ensure your cream cheese is truly at room temperature to avoid lumps. If you're short on time, unwrap and microwave in 10-second bursts, rotating the block between bursts.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the cream stands up firmly when the beaters are lifted.
Pro Tip: For best results, chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes before whipping. Cold equipment helps the cream whip faster and achieve better volume.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula. Use a delicate touch and a figure-eight motion to maintain as much air as possible in the mixture, which ensures a light, fluffy texture.
Pro Tip: Add ⅓ of the whipped cream first to lighten the cheese mixture, then fold in the remaining amount to preserve maximum volume.
Pour the finished filling over your prepared crust, spreading evenly with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. For a professional finish, run the spatula across the top in a smooth motion.
Pro Tip: Tap the pan gently on the counter a few times to release any trapped air bubbles that could create holes in your finished cheesecake.
For immediate enjoyment, serve right away for a softer, mousse-like consistency. For a firmer, more traditional cheesecake texture, refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).
Pro Tip: If chilling overnight, cover with plastic wrap that doesn't touch the surface to prevent condensation from forming on your cheesecake.
