Americana No-bake Cheesecake

A luscious and creamy no-bake cheesecake topped with berries and whipped cream for a Patriotic touch!

When it comes to cheesecakes, I totally love a no-bake recipe. It’s so easy to throw the ingredients together and create a delicious masterpiece with minimal effort! Thanks to the addition of mascarpone cheese and marshmallow fluff, the results of this cheesecake are super creamy, fluffy, and sweet! The berries and whipped cream on top add not only a decorative touch, but just the right amount of tartness to really round out the flavor. Decorate in a festive American flag pattern to impress your guests and celebrate America!

Overview:

To make this recipe, you’ll start by making a homemade graham cracker pie crust. However, you’re more than welcome to use a premade pie crust too! Then, whip up the cheesecake filling by combining cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, and homemade whipped cream together. Finish by decorating with fresh berries and more whipped cream for the perfect touch!

Key Ingredients:

Cream cheese: the base of the cheesecake! Provides a rich texture with the signature cheesecake tang

Mascarpone cheese: while similar to cream cheese, mascarpone cheese is even creamier and smoother in texture. I love the results with mascarpone cheese in this recipe, but if you don’t have it or can’t find it, you can swap it out for another block of cream cheese instead.

Marshmallow creme: I love adding marshmallow creme (or marshmallow fluff) to my no-bake cheesecakes because it makes them light, fluffy, and sweet

Heavy whipping cream: the base for the homemade whipped cream that will be folded into the cream cheese mixture. Adds lightness and fluffiness.

Powdered sugar: stabilizes the whipped cream and adds sweetness
