Cake batter and cheesecake… need I say more? It’s the perfect combination.
This light and cold dessert is so easy to make, and you probably already have most of the ingredients.
It’s the perfect dessert for barbecues, pot lucks, picnics, birthdays, or just for yourself. 🙂

How to make no-bake cake batter cheesecake
Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream until it is a creamy substance and can hold a peak.
You can beat it by hand (the way our grandma always said it should be done!) or use an electric mixer.
It should look something like this:
Step 2: Add the cream cheese, cake mix (just the powder mix, don’t add anything else to it), and vanilla, and continue to whip until fully combined.
Step 3: Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust.
If you’d rather use a homemade crust, we love the one from this recipe.
Step 4: Garnish with sprinkles if you’d like.
Our favorites are these sprinkles or these sprinkles.
Step 5: Refrigerate for 30 mins-1 hour before serving.

Make this recipe your own:
One thing we love about this recipe is the ability to customize it to your own liking. Here are some great additions or substitutions to put your own spin on it:
- Use another flavor of cake batter. We like yellow cake, white cake, and lemon cake mix.
- Cool whip instead of heavy whipping cream. This will work in a pinch, but we like the texture that heavy whipping cream adds to the cheesecake.
- Use a homemade crust. We like this one (although you will have to bake it!).
- Use a different type of crust. We love oreo crust, vanilla wafer crust, or sugar cookie crust.
- Use a different garnish. The sprinkles are a great touch, but crushed cookies, shaved chocolate, or extra whipped cream would be tasty on top, too.

I don’t think I could have hit the print button any faster. Thank you for sharing!
Oh this looks so easy and fun! I love all the sprinkles!
Can I use a tub of Cool Whip instead of heavy cream? Thanks
Hi Jackie, we have not tried this recipe using cool whip. Not sure how well it would set up. Reading over the ingredients makes me think it should be fine. Let us know how it all turns out.
I do a cheesecake similar to this and use cool whip instead of whipping cream. It sets up perfectly fine and tastes just as good.
Do you make the funfetti cake batter or just use the funfetti mix from the box?
You use the dry funfetti cake batter mix straight from the box.
Love all your recipes!!!
Thanks Teresa! Have a great week.
Alternate to the dry cake mix?
Have you tried chocolate?
Is it safe to use a “raw” cake mix in a non bake cheesecake? With all the problems with flour recently, would that used in that manner be okay?
This was bad. The cream cheese didn’t blend all the way with the whipped cream so I had clumps of cream cheese. It also wasn’t sweet enough for me either.
It sounds like you did not soften your cream cheese before blending.
This wasn’t sweet enough. Others had sugar in it.
Since its unhealthy, and can make you really, really I’ll to eat uncooked cake mix because of the flour, how can you promote this s a good idea? This recipe is scary. It sounds good, but it’s not.
Can’t wait to make this !!!! I love mix and match recipes!!!
First off, this was a fantastic recipe. I LOVE cheesecake, and while I don’t care for cake I do love cake batter flavored things. I recently wanted to combine the 2 and found this recipe which helped me so much! My only twist was a little more cream cheese vs the initial 8oz, (I think I added maybe 2-3oz more) but I wanted more of a cheesier, creamier, flavor and I felt it balanced with the cake better. Otherwise, huge shoutout to the author for posting this and giving us a nice recipe combining 2 classic deserts. Cheers!
I didn’t see anywhere to bake the cake mix powder – consuming raw flour isn’t safe.
