Ingredients
Components of graham cracker crust:
- 1 tablespoon of sugar, granulated
- Unsalted butter, 8 tablespoons, and 1 stick
- Graham crackers, 1 1/2 cups (from 12 whole crunchy pieces)
Cheesecake ingredients not baked:
- freshly squeezed lemon juice, 2 teaspoons
- cold 12-ounces of mascarpone cheese
- 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream, frozen
- granulated sugar, 2/3 cup
- 8 ounces of room temperature cream cheese
strawberry garnish:
- Recipe for strawberry sauce, chilled and drained
- 8 ounces of fresh strawberry slices
Instructions
to prepare:
- Making the strawberry sauce and crushing the sediments with a spoon to extract as much syrup as you can before straining it through a sieve. When ready in advance, cover and refrigerate or set aside to cool to room temperature. The filtered strawberry sauce is yours to keep.
How to make cheesecake without baking:
- The graham crackers should be roughly crumbled and mixed into tiny pieces in the bowl of a food processor. Place the crumbs in a bowl and top with 8 tablespoons of melted butter and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Press into bottom and up the sides of a 9" springform pan, pressing the crumbs 1/2" up the edges after stirring until equally wet. Until the crumbs are firm, freeze for 15 minutes or chill for 30 minutes.
- 8 ounces of cream cheese and 2/3 cup of granulated sugar should be combined in a big basin. 3 minutes on medium/high speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until fluffy and smooth. Place yourself in the background.
- Beat 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream with a clean, hand-held electric beater in a different mixing basin until firm peaks form (3-5 minutes on high speed). 12 ounces of mascarpone should be added when the speed is on medium/low and mixed well.
- With a spoon, thoroughly incorporate the cream cheese into the beaten mascarpone mixture. Add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, 1 spoonful at a time, and mix thoroughly.
- Place the cheesecake filling on top of the chilled crust and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight, depending on your preference, until thoroughly cooled. Sliced strawberries should be arranged in rings on top, brushed with filtered strawberry sauce, then covered with extra strawberry sauce.
Notes
Crust, filling, and syrup for unbaked cheesecake may be prepared up to three days in advance, making it ideal for entertaining.
Hi, I followed this recipe to a tea and I left it in the fridge overnight, problem I had was that the Graham cracker crumbs were sticking to the bottom of the spring form pan. Did I do something wrong? Should I of maybe oiled the bottom before putting the crumbs in?
hey, is it possible to use the creamy filling for a cake filling?
One of the best cheesecake recipe. Thank you so much for this easy yet mouthwatering recipe. I made this recipe more than 2 times. Just a quick question.
Can I add mango purée or chopped mangos in the cream cheese and mascarpone mixture before letting it set? Will there be any problem with setting the mixture? And top it with fresh mangoes on the top after it is set.
Can I incorporate the cream from Oreo cookies into the cheesecake or would that not mix well?
My crust keeps getting stuck to the pan. I have made this a dozen times. I spray the bottom good but still sticks😩
Awesome and super easy! We loved it! Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

I made this no bake cheesecake and it is absolutely the best cheesecake I have ever had! I sliced and wrapped individual slices and keep in freezer. Freezes great. Thank you for this awesome recipe!
Hi, what if I don’t have mascarpone can I substitute it with sour cream? Thank you
Looks delicious, I was wondering, my son in law has an allergy to lemons. Could I substitute something else? Maybe vanilla?
Thank you
I made this recipe for my dads birthday and he absolutely loved it. He gave some to his coworkers and they loved it also. Thank you for sharing this recipe
Can I just ask is it 2 to 3 cups of granulated sugar or 2 thirds of a cup please
