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 cup heavy whipping cream

How to Make No-Bake Raspberry Cheesecake
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and crumbly.
- 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.
- 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.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to break them apart too much. Reserve a few for topping.
- Spread the raspberry cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. Overnight is even better!
- 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.
