No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that requires no baking. It is a variation of the classic cheesecake, but with a tangy lemon flavor that adds a refreshing twist to the traditional dessert. This type of cheesecake is perfect for those who love the taste of lemon and prefer a lighter, creamy texture.

Once the crust for the No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake is ready, it’s time to move on to the delicious filling. Follow these steps to create a creamy and tangy lemon filling:

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 packages (16 ounces) of cream cheese with ½ cup of granulated sugar. Beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy.
Add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and the zest of 2 lemons. Beat the mixture again until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Squeeze the juice from the zested lemons and add it to the cream cheese mixture. Stir well to combine.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip 1 ½ cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until it is fully combined.
Pour the lemon cheesecake filling onto the prepared crust, making sure to spread it evenly.
Smooth out the top of the filling using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or until it sets and becomes firm.
Following these steps will ensure a smooth and creamy lemon cheesecake filling that pairs perfectly with the crust.
