No Bake Cheesecake

I love cheesecake! Any kind of cheesecake, baked, no-bake, chocolate, new york and so-on, is yummy in my books. Though I did have a bad experience with pumpkin once. Not sure if I want to ever try it again. Anyway, I adapted this one from an oreo no-bake to just a vanilla flavoured topped with some blueberry pie filling. You could use and pie topping or sauce, homeade or bought.

No-Bake Cheesecake

Crust
1 1/2 cup crushed graham cracker
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
7 tablespoon unsalted butter or margarine(melted)

Cheesecake
2 ¼ cups heavy cream
1 pound cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoon vanilla powder

Crust
Combine graham cracker crumbs with sugar.

Add melted butter and blend until combined.

Press into pan and set aside.

Cheesecake
Beat heavy cream until medium peaks form and set aside.

Add cream cheese, sugar, salt, vanilla powder, lemon juice to a bowl and beat until smooth (approximately 3-5 mins).

Add cream cheese mixture to heavy cream and beat until incorporated.

Fill chosen pan with a slight mound at the center, as the cheesecake will become slightly sunken at the center.

Refrigerate for at least 6 hours to set or overnight for best results.

Remove from refrigerator and smooth top to level with edges. Cut pieces and place on serving plates and top with your choice of topping.
