No Bake Raspberry Creamsicle Cheesecake
Have you ever indulged in a Raspberry Creamsicle? If not, I am sure you have enjoyed an Orange version. A couple of weeks ago, I shared a No Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake. It was out of this world amazing. It has been so popular on Facebook and Pinterest. It has been shared over 135,000 times in just a short period.
I totally get why it has been so popular. The recipe looks so tasty and is so super easy to make. My daughter had a birthday this week. She just turned 22. I can not believe it. Time just flies by. Since she LOVES raspberries, I decided I would whip her up a raspberry version of our Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake. She really liked it so I knew she would like this version.
I made the cheesecake the exact same way as I did the orange version. I did add in some fresh raspberries and we used Raspberry Jell-O. The flavor from the raspberries really added something special. The color was a pretty pinkish/red. Perfect for spring and summer dessert or even a birthday dessert.
The main thing about this dessert is that it is so simple to make and there is no baking involved. Just a few dirty dishes and a little bit of time to whip it up.
I like to place my no bake cheesecakes in the freezer for about 30 minutes before serving. When I use this step, my sharp knife gets super clean cuts. This makes the presentation and serving perfect.
To make this No Bake Raspberry Creamsicle Cheesecake, you will need some Nilla wafers, butter, cream cheese, heavy whipping cream (I forgot to add it to my ingredients, oops), sugar, powdered sugar, Raspberry Jello, and some fresh raspberries. I used cool whip for my topping swirls because it holds up better before serving. You could could garnish with a bit more whipping cream or just leave it with no garnishments. It will still be delicious.

This is SUBLIME! It really reminds me of a French Charlotte but better! After making it a few times there are ways to simplify, use less bowls, etc. Totally worth any effort though! Everyone loves it and so impressed.
Pinned. You have shared this just in time for me to plan to make it for my husband’s birthday next month. Looks so good. #HomeMattersParty

This dessert looks and taste amazing! Surprised at how light and fluffy it turned out. Everyone loved it and it is so pretty. Took awhile to make, but so worth it. The presentation is impressive, it’s a WOW dessert.
Sooo, I’m really happy right now because I have made my very first homemade no bake cheesecake using your recipe and it came out so yummy and beautiful! I altered it by replacing all the raspberry with lemon jello and homemade lemon curd! My husband LOVES lemon everything and so I made this special for him for father’s day today ♡ Thank you for sharing this fluffy and dense no bake cheesecake recipy.
Made this for my Mom for her 94th birthday. It was delicious!! Labor intensive but worth it. I chilled it between the berry layer and the second cream cheese layer to help it so spread better. Worked like a charm!
Pinned! This looks so amazing!
