Temperatures have been really nasty here in the northeast and for many of us…the last thing we want to do is heat up our kitchen by using the oven. If you are like me, you’ve been looking around for some great no-bake dessert recipes and today…I am sharing this yummy “no bake” cheesecake recipe from Chef Kim Lassiter, founder of Symply Pure and Decadent Bakery with all of you.

Since I love cheesecake I shall have to try this recipe. at least I will not have to use the oven on a hot day to make it! I might add a little bit of cinnamon or grated lemon peel to the filling.
Wow! Decadent is right. But it looks so good and perfect for hot summer days, that it’s worth it. Thanks for finding and sharing this recipe.
No bake? Right up my alley! I LOVE cheesecake, and if it’s no bake, then so much the better! The only change I would make (just personal preference), would to swap out half the cream cheese for ricotta – more like an Italian cheesecake. Yum!
This no-bake cheesecake sounds rich & tasty! That’s just how I like cheesecake, lol.
Yum! This looks delicious, I can’t wait to give it a try. No bake recipes are always a plus. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Oh my! This would be so good. I’m trying to eat less sugar so I won’t be making it.
This is a nice cool dessert recipe for summer. I’ve used fat free cream cheese in cheesecake and couldn’t tell the difference.
I love how easy this recipe is. I have not attempted to make a cheesecake because I always thought it would be too difficult or too many steps 🙂
