How to make no-bake cheesecake

Learning how to make no-bake cheesecake is the best because it's easy to make, doesn't require baking, and can be made in advance. Plus, no-bake cheesecake is perfect for summertime when you don't want the oven on. Each recipe is unique in its own way, but they all share two things: they're easy to make (and often don't require any cooking), and they're delicious. We even have a vegan no-bake cheesecake recipe for you:

No-bake raw vegan cheesecake with strawberry topping 

This simple recipe is easy to put together and won't take up too much time in your day. The best part about this recipe is that it only requires two ingredients: cashews and dates. 

  • The first step is to soak the cashews in water until they're soft enough to blend; this will take anywhere from two hours to overnight, depending on how long you want to wait before eating your dessert.
  • Once they're soaked, drain them and add them to a food processor or blender along with the rest of the ingredients (dates, lemon juice, maple syrup or agave). If you don't have those last two items on hand, honey will also work.
  • Blend everything until it becomes smooth and creamy, then pour it into a container or dish. Refrigerate for at least four hours before slicing up into eight equal pieces. Serve and enjoy!

Can you freeze cheesecake?

Ever wondered if freezing cheesecake is okay or if freezing won’t ruin your cheesecake? You will be glad to know that you may freeze any type of cheesecake, whole or in individual pieces, without changing the recipe. Although no-bake cheesecakes and lighter, whipped cheesecakes can be frozen, New York-style cheesecakes are less prone to separation due to their denser texture.

How long can you freeze cheesecake?

The best bet for homemade cheesecakes is to freeze them for two to three months. After three months, there is a higher likelihood of freezer burn or a change in flavour or texture. Any longer than that would really be stretching your luck, though it's still safe to eat for 6 to 8 months. However, the texture and quality begin to decline the longer it's frozen.

How to freeze cheesecake

The basic steps are as follows:

  • Before putting the cheesecake in the fridge, let it cool fully.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake completely before serving.
  • If you'd prefer, you can slice the cheesecake into pieces or leave it whole.
  • Put the cheesecake on a piece of cardboard.
  • Wrap it tightly with foil and then plastic wrap.
  • For the best flavour, freeze for up to two months.

How to thaw frozen cheesecake

Transferring your cheesecake straight from the freezer to the refrigerator is the most appropriate way to thaw it. For the best consistency, let it defrost overnight.

Never thaw a whole cheesecake in the oven or microwave, as this could cause it to melt and lose its beloved thick, rich consistency. Slices can be microwaved for 30–45 seconds if you're in a rush and can't wait. Eat your cheesecake within two days of it having defrosted to avoid it going bad.
