So, what exactly is a no-bake cheesecake? As the name suggests, this dessert eliminates the need for baking, relying instead on the chilling process to set the filling. This method not only simplifies the preparation but also results in a creamy, velvety texture that many find irresistible. In contrast to traditional baked cheesecakes, which often require precise temperature control and baking times, the no-bake variant provides a more forgiving and approachable option for home cooks.

Ingredients
  

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

¼ cup powdered sugar

1 can cherry pie filling (optional for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Place in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

    Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.

      Whip the Cream: In another bowl, chill the heavy whipping cream until cold. Using a mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

        Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful to maintain the lightness of the whipped cream.

          Combine and Chill: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.

            Serve: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. If desired, top with cherry pie filling before serving. Slice and enjoy your delicious no-bake classic Woolworth cheesecake!
