Quick No Bake Cheesecake Recipe

Servings 10

Ingredients

  • 2 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract Optional
  • 1 8 ounce container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed
  • 1 9 inch prepared graham cracker crust
  • 1 21 ounce can strawberry pie filling

Instructions

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Combine cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and lemon extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Fold in whipped topping.
  • Pour mixture into graham cracker crust and smooth evenly.
  • Top with pie filling and refrigerate until firm, 2 to 3 hours.

Notes

  • An 8-inch crust also works in this recipe.
  • Lemon extract gives a hint of tartness, and I find it complements the vanilla extract. You can leave it out if you prefer plain cheesecake.
  • Any fruit filling can be used in place of strawberry, or top cheesecake with fresh fruit.
