Oh it's hot outside! No one wants to turn on the oven but everyone still wants dessert. This recipe is just the ticket. It's easy to make and there's no baking or stove needed.
It's wonderfully refreshing and light. You can put what ever fresh fruit you'd like and it's fabulous.
The perfect dessert for the summer. Fast, easy, no bake and scrumptious! Even better, you can make it a day ahead or up to 3 days and even freeze it. Shhhh. No one need every know how easy it is!
FYI. The original recipe called for 1½ cups more sugar between the crust and the filling and it used cool whip, which was also added sugar. It was waaaay to sweet. This is just right. You may need a little extra for your taste but this combination was tested and deemed perfect by our family.
No Bake Cheesecake Squares
- Base: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and press into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. (Don't press too hard or it will be very dense but hard enough to make it stay together!)
- Filling: In a large bowl beat the cream cheese, sour cream and icing sugar until smooth and creamy. Using a spatula, fold in the whipped cream. Spread evenly over the base. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and even better 24 hours ahead.
- Slice into 12 or more bars depending on size. Top with your choice of topping.
