No-Bake Cheesecake

Print Recipe
Emma J. used to make this for my birthday for years. Still one of my favourite desserts. I'd slowly eat the whole Pyrex in a couple days. There's not a lot to it, but it's delicious. Is it cheesecake? Kind of. It has cream cheese. It's also best topped with canned cherry pie filling.

Instructions

Crust

      It’s a solid icing to use on cookies. It’s slightly glossy and looks great. I hate using raw eggs, because of salmonella possibilities,but egg replacers work just as well.

    This is my favourite dessert from Hawaii. It’s super simple, but is absolutely delicious. Unless you don’t like coconuts, but then you also don’t like happiness, so you can be sad while I eat my haupia.

  • Lemonade

      I have made this for my entire life. Every winter, when lemons are in season,, we would make an enormous batch. It stores exceedingly well because it is so acidic. You can mix in the syrup to your own taste. Don’t let anyone tell you how much is too much. You know yourself.
