Tips

  • It needs to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
  • Make it the night before and then just top it in the morning.
  • You can get as simple or extra as you want with the decorations.
  • You can throw on some edible stars or cut out some fondant if you're feeling extra.
  • Even without all the fuss, it's still a showstopper.
  • People always go back for seconds.
  • Make sure to save this so you don't forget to make it this weekend.
  • You'll be the one everyone talks about at the party.
  • It hits after a full plate of burgers and chips.
  • It's creamy but super light, chilled straight from the fridge.
  • The lemon gives it a little zing that makes it feel so fresh on a hot day.
  • It's cold, creamy, super light and somehow still feels refreshing even though it's cheesecake.
  • The crust is literally that easy to make, no need to bake.
  • The filling is the best part.
  • I do blueberries in the corner and cherry pie filling for the stripes, it ends up looking like the cutest little American flag.
  • This is the one if you only have 20 minutes to pull together a dessert for this holiday weekend.
  • This no bake cheesecake never gets old, I've been making this with my mom since I was a kid.
  • You'll be the one everyone talks about at the party, I promise that.
