NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE WITH GINGERSNAP CRUST



No-Bake Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust image

Not all cheesecakes are baked; this eggless version is just cream cheese, lemon juice, sugar, and heavy cream over a gingersnap crust. Still, it's so rich that one cake is enough for a dozen slices.

NO-BAKE KEY LIME CHEESECAKE



No-Bake Key Lime Cheesecake image

This easy mousse-like treat blends the tartness of Key lime pie with the richness of cheesecake. Its graham-cracker crust sets in the freezer rather than the oven, and the traditional whipped-cream topping is folded right into the filling, along with fresh citrus juice and zest, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk. Chill it overnight, and wake up to a world of bliss.
