Quick and simple to prepare, Raspberry Strawberry No-Bake Cheesecake is an ideal dessert recipe for hot weather. It has swirls of raspberry and strawberry puree in a creamy no-cook cheesecake and supported by a vanilla wafer crust.

RASPBERRY STRAWBERRY NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE
What’s the difference in a baked versus a no-bake cheesecake? Obviously, you cook one of them and do not cook the other one. There’s more. Baked cheesecakes contain eggs, they’re baked in a water bath then chilled in the refrigerator before serving. No-bake cheesecake has no eggs and doesn’t need to be cooked. Typically, no-bake cheesecake has the texture of mousse and contains whipped cream,
CAN I MAKE CHEESECAKE AHEAD OF TIME?
Typically, both no-bake and baked cheesecakes take several hours to chill and set. Therefore, calculate that time in your planning. For this reason, cheesecake is the ideal dessert for a party because you can make it ahead of time. You could definitely make this the day before serving, or even a couple days before.
Both different cheesecakes are delicious and have a place on your dessert table.
You’ll need a good 9-inch springform pan for this recipe. I recommend this leakproof pan.
