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.

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.
