Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (260g)
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted (113g)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
For the filling:
- 4 (8-ounce) blocks cream cheese softened to room temperature (908g)
- ⅓ cup sour cream (79g)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup powdered sugar (120g)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream (120g)
Instructions
For the crust:
- Mix the crust ingredients in a medium-sized bowl until well blended. Press into a 9-inch springform pan from the bottom and up the sides. While making the filling, freeze.
For the filling:
- Beat the cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed for one to two minutes, or until smooth.
- In a medium-sized basin, whisk the cream vigorously for one minute, or until stiff peaks form. Just blend the whipped cream and cream cheese mixture by folding it in. Using a tiny offset spatula to smooth into an equal layer, pour the mixture onto the frozen crust. Place plastic wrap over the top and refrigerate for two hours, or perhaps overnight.

Notes
- Work out your arms a little. (But it’s quite simple!) This recipe calls for so little cream that it doesn’t quite whisk up in the stand mixer’s base. I advise using a balloon whisk and some elbow grease, or your hand mixer. Remember to start with freshly chilled, cold cream. To speed up the process even more, think about freezing your bowl, whisk or beaters!
- Take your time on this chilly step! Before slicing, make sure your homemade, no-bake cheesecake is completely set.
- Use your imagination! This dish, which is silky smooth cheesecake, can be topped in almost any way you choose! For a burst of color and cool fruitiness in the sweltering summer, consider rosettes of sweetened whipped cream, macerated fresh berries, or prepared cherry pie filling.
- Not a fruit? Not a problem! For a delectably rich twist, you could drizzle some caramel sauce or a straightforward dark chocolate ganache over the top!
- Take out the gluten. Just replace the Graham crackers with your preferred gluten-free option to create a gluten-free no-bake cheesecake!
