No-Bake PHILADELPHIA Cheesecake Recipes – Easy to Make, Still Delicious!
December 25, 2015
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Are you in the midst of planning a festive dinner and still can’t decide what dessert to prepare? Here’s a perfect solution: Make a No-Bake Cheesecake! These are easy to make but still just as delicious, hence it’s great for entertaining guests this holiday season!
In this post, we have shared two simple no-bake cheesecake recipes – pumpkin cheesecake and cheesecake popsicles – that the whole family will love! Pumpkin is a common ingredient here. They are versatile, you can use it to cook savoury dishes or even make a dessert out of it! As for cheesecake popsicles, it’s colourful and kids will definitely love it. Plus, the prep time is never very long – you just have to give enough time to chill the cheesecakes properly before serving.

Cranberry Cheesecake Popsicles
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
I am crazy about making popsicles lately. These are the kind of desserts to enjoy after a long hot day, or after cooking a nice festive dinner. They’re light and indulgent. True to their name, they’re essentially mini cranberry cheesecakes, but in frozen form (and a whole lot less effort to make).
The base of these popsicles consists of cream cheese, sugar, and milk, which is whipped together to create a thick but pourable mixture, similar to cream. Stir in some fresh berries, and some graham cracker chunks, and you have the classic flavour combination of a standard cheesecake.
Trust me, any berries, be it fresh or frozen, works well. I have used blueberries, raspberries, strawberry puree, and now cranberry puree (because it’s Christmas!). It’s not always easy to get fresh berries, but I am surprised how great it taste even when I used puree. Tip: Try sprinkling some of graham crackers on the popsicles, the crunch creates wonder!

No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake with Salted Caramel Sauce
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
There are days when the last place anyone wants to be is in a hot kitchen. So when I have a choice to go for an easier way out, I will definitely choose it.
Pumpkin Cheesecake combines two American favorites: New York style cheesecake and pumpkin pie. Instead of taking the usual route of baking it, I tried making a non-bake version, which tastes just as good, and so much easier and simpler! My best friend, who has no oven at home, love this recipe a lot and we made it during one of the mini Christmas dinners!
