No Bake Cheese Cake Recipe: One Of Our Favorites




Yesterday was Mr. In The Mid-west's birthday! He requested this no bake cheese cake for his birthday.


This cheese cake is easy and delicious! It requires no baking, and therefore, no unnecessary heating of the house in the summer, always a plus. :)

No Bake Cheese Cake

Graham Cracker Crust: (Optional: I often make a shortbread crust instead of graham cracker. Both are good.)
1 1/2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
2 TBS. Sugar
6 TBS. Butter, melted

Filling:
1 - 8 oz. pkg. Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1 cup Sour Cream
2 tsp. Vanilla Favoring
8 oz. Whipped Cream (cool whip will work.)

Combine cracker crumbs, 2 TBS. sugar, and butter to make the graham cracker crust.  Press into the bottom of a 8×8 inch baking dish. This crust tastes better if it is toasted in a 350° F. oven for 15 minutes, but if you don't want to run your oven, it still tastes good without baking.

To make the filling, cream softened cream cheese and sugar until light and combined. Add sour cream and vanilla flavoring, mix well.

Whip cream until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.

Pour into prepared crust. Chill in refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably over night.

Serve with your choice of toppings.
Enjoy!
