This recipe isn’t it. Followed all instructions , whipped it, chilled it forever. Didn’t set. Don’t waste your time or ingredients on this recipe people.
Bummer. Sorry to hear this recipe isn’t for you. I’ve had thousands of people use this recipe and very few have had issues unless they use substitutes such as whipping cream instead of HEAVY whipping cream or don’t whip it long enough.
Not sure what you did or didn’t do but worked great and tastes great
Ok, I feel compelled to say this wasn’t good (to me). It didn’t have the texture I expect from a no-bake cheese cake. So I was disappointed to waste my ingredients. I’d much prefer to add the extra step and whip the cream to be folded in. All that said, my husband thoroughly enjoyed it… but he’s not too picky and wasn’t the one craving cherry cheese cake all week.
Cheesecake is interesting that way. Even with baked cheesecakes, depending on your preparation, it can be made to be dense or airy. No-bake cheesecake is similar. I prefer a more dense cheesecake. This recipe is designed for that. It’s definitely an option to “take the extra step” and whip then fold the cream in the mixture to create a different, lighter texture. I’m glad your husband’s not-too-picky tastebuds enjoyed this recipe. It’s one of my quick and easy favorites.
I’m making this for our Valentines Day dessert. I am using a chocolate graham cracker crust bc chocolate and cherries go hand in hand. Can’t wait to try it!
That sounds amazing! I hope you loved it 🙂
Rachel:
Tried your cheesecake today. OMG!! It was great!! Thanks.
So glad you liked it. It’s one of my favs! Quick and easy!
Hi Rachael. Just curious, would I need to add gelatin to the cheesecake filling?
I made your recipe last night and have kept it in the fridge overnight. I am just worried if the slices don’t come out firm. Can you guide me please?
If you used heavy whipping cream and whipped the filling it should be thick, creamy and hold its shape. No need for gelatin. Hope this helps. Happy Holidays!
Making this… is whipping up thick!
Fabulous! I hope you loved it 😉
Hi, Rachel, my name is Mary V. I am so excited to try your cheesecake recipe for the first time ever. I love cheese cake and want to start making my own, so I can’t wait to try your recipe. Will give you an update when I’m done. Thank you. Hope it comes out as good as yours.
Hi Mary! I’m so excited for you to try this. It’s my favorite quick fix. 😉 I look forward to hearing how you like this recipe. Happy Holidays!
Mines came out runnie.. would it be ok to put it in the freezer???
Hi Val! You could try freezing it. I’ve never tried that but I’m guessing it would be delicious especially in the summer months. If you made this recipe using regular whipping cream instead of HEAVY that may have contributed to it coming out runny. I hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by.
Made this !:)
Thanks for sharing! It’s a great cheesecake quick-fix recipe!
I love blueberry! This look so good too!!
Ooooh!Blueberry would be amazing on this!
