Description
A no-bake cheesecake recipe that transforms three simple ingredients into a creamy, indulgent dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225–240 g) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 can (14 oz / ~396 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, cold
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and lump-free (about 2–3 minutes). Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Slowly add the sweetened condensed milk while mixing at low speed until fully combined and glossy. If using vanilla or lemon zest, add it here.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and condensed milk mixture until uniform, light, and fluffy.
- Pour the mixture into a prepared crust or individual ramekins and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set.
- Serve chilled, optionally topped with fresh berries or other toppings.
