Tips and Procedures:

If you want the crust to be finer, use a high-speed blender or a food processor to process or blend the cookies into a fine powder.
Feel free to garnish with fresh fruit like strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, whipped cream, or even your favorite sauce.
The cheesecake filling can be made the night before and stored in an airtight container and can be easily assembled before serving.
The crust can be made several days before but needs to be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
Storage: Store the finished cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

How to make 3 Ingredient No Bake Cheesecake Recipe:

Here are the ingredients you will need:

15-20 cookies
cream cheese
condensed milk

In a large mixing bowl, cream the cream cheese using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, whichever is comfortable and available:

Next, add condensed milk and mix until well combined. Then place the bowl in the refrigerator:

Now it’s time to make the crust!

In a ziplock bag, place 10-15 cookies and crush with a rolling pin or you can use the bottom of a glass. I have used that before and it works! Just be careful not to break it 😉

After crushing the cookies, mix them with the cream cheese and condensed milk mixture in three separate bowls. Make sure to set aside crushed cookies for the crust later:

Place 1 tablespoon of crushed cookies in a mini mason jar:

Add cream cheese filling into the jars, just like how I did it in the photo below:

With the leftover cookies, garnish the cheesecake. I went ahead and garnished mine with whole cookies and not the crushed ones since I just imagined they would look prettier 🙂

Nah! Don’t get too excited after assembling all three cheesecakes! Refrigerate for at least 1 hour because it tastes so much better when served chilled.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I substitute cheesecake with mascarpone?

Yes, you can for sure. Mascarpone is also delicious, though it might be a bit more expensive than the usual cream cheese.

Will no-bake cheesecake firm up in the fridge?

No, this recipe will not firm up like your typical cheesecake recipe. However, I’ve tried freezing it and it does firm up.

Why is my No-Bake Cheesecake not firm?

Because it’s not baked. Baking the cheesecake helps firm up the cheesecake, but this recipe doesn’t require baking. To help freeze up the cheesecake, freeze it overnight.
