This light and creamy cheesecake doesn’t require any baking, just whip it up and chill it in the refrigerator! Since the summer heat is full blast here in Utah, I decided it was time to turn off the oven and whip up something cold and delicious that didn’t require ANY baking! This cheesecake is light, creamy and perfect for those hot hot days! Top it with fresh berries and it’s good to go! Making this cheesecake couldn’t be easier. The crust is just a few simple ingredients that get pressed into a springform pan (or pie dish) and then chilled until firm. For the filling you’ll want to soften three blocks of cream cheese along with some sour cream. In a stand mixer beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, then add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt and the sour cream.

It can be dressed up, or down, made in just about any pan, and can take on just about any flavor imaginable. Today I wanted to share my latest creation: mini cranberry orange cheesecakes. They’ve got a cookie crumb base, thick zesty filling, and a tart and tangy cranberry swirl. For the base I used Cooper Street Orange Cranberry Cookies (biscotti). All you need to do is pop them in the food processor, then mix them with melted butter and a bit of granulated sugar. You could also use graham crackers, biscoff cookies or shortbread, however, you won’t get the same unique flavor. Make sure your refrigerated items are at room temperature for the filling.

Cheesecake doesn’t have to be difficult! These decadent no-bake Nutella brownie cheesecakes can be whipped up in a matter of minutes! Life has been a little crazy lately! The kids have been sick, we’ve had family in town, and we just found out we’re moving to Washington D.C. next month!! With so much going on, I haven’t had much time to bake… or do much of anything for that matter. These no-bake Nutella brownie cheesecakes were my last minute attempt at making dessert for our family, and you know what? We  loved  them! Here’s how we made them: I grabbed some leftover brownies (crushed Oreos would work too), diced them up and gently pressed them into the bottom of 6 glass jars. P.S. I love my tulip Weck jars for individual treats, they’re about 8 ounces each (which is the perfect size – and they come with lids)! Then I broke out my hand mixer and whipped up the 5-ingredient filling. We had  homemade Nutella  leftover, so I used up the rest of that. You know, in case you’re wondering why
