    4th of July No Bake Cheesecake - one of the easiest desserts you can make! This red, white and blue treat is perfect to celebrate the Independence Day!

    4th of July No Bake Cheesecake from CrunchyCreamySweet.com

    When there is a celebration or a holiday coming up, I always consider making a cheesecake as a dessert. It's my ultimate favorite treat and always a hit!

    Since 4th of July is coming up, I thought that a no bake cheesecake should make an appearance. Easy, fun, festive and of course, absolutely delicious.

    You will love this cheesecake! It's easy to make, doesn't need baking and it's fun to decorate! Our kids loved all of the sprinkles!

    4th of July No Bake Cheesecake with Funfetti

    If you read my post with 10 secrets to a perfect cheesecake, you know I always pre-bake the crust. Since this is a no bake cheesecake, and most likely in July you are not going to want to turn your oven on, I made this crust without the need of pre-baking. It's simply a mix of graham cracker crumbs and milk. It will come together and form a crust. It will not be a crunchy crust, but soft and will match the creamy melt-in-your-mouth filling perfectly. You can always skip it and use a store-bought crust.

    I used a whipped cream in my cheesecake. You can whip one cup of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. You can also use a thawed whipped topping (like Cool-Whip).

    I actually tried to make a red and blue swirls in this cheesecake, but it's so hot and humid that the mixture was melting as I was mixing it and the swirls did not come out as impressive as I wanted. I would not waste my time next time and just stir in sprinkles, as I noted in the recipe.

    I used more whipped cream to decorate the top of the cheesecake, but feel free to skip it and just add more sprinkles.

      Because cool whip and whipped cream are often sweetened, should I use unsweetened along with the sugar in the recipe?

        Hi Ella! I used regular cool whip and heavy cream. The cheesecake is sweet but not too sweet. I hope this helps!
