Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup fresh raspberries, plus more for topping
• Chocolate or caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)

How to Make No-Bake Raspberry Cheesecake

1. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and crumbly.
2. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust. Place in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
5. Fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to break them apart too much. Reserve a few for topping.
6. Spread the raspberry cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
7. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. Overnight is even better!
8. Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with whipped cream, additional fresh raspberries, and a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling.
• Don’t skip chilling time; it helps the cheesecake set properly.
• For a firmer cheesecake, increase the chilling time to overnight.
• Use a spatula to gently fold in the raspberries to maintain their shape.

Easy Variations

• Swap raspberries for strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor.
• Add a layer of fruit preserves beneath the cheesecake layer for an extra burst of fruitiness.
• Mix in a tablespoon of lemon juice for a citrus twist in the filling.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• A cup of coffee or iced tea to balance the sweetness.
