In search of an easy dessert that wins over dinner party or holiday guests? This no-bake vanilla cheesecake is light, creamy, and perfect for any dinner party or holiday gathering. No-bake cheesecake also eliminates a lot of the worries that might keep you from making a cheesecake in the first place: There’s no need for fussy water baths or elaborate cool-down steps.

No worries about cracks in the top. No need to even turn on the oven, hence, no-bake cheesecake! Beat together softened cream cheese and sifted powdered sugar. Whip in some heavy cream until the mixture is thick and billowy. Add a little gelatin and whisk it in at the end to help make the cheesecake stable and easily sliced. The finished cheesecake has a creamy, silky texture, like a cross between traditional cheesecake and extra-thick whipped cream. Cold cream cheese becomes lumpy when mixed and you’ll never be able to get the signature light and fluffy texture of a no-bake cheesecake.
