There is something especially delicious about cheesecake made with fresh summer berries. When it’s too hot to fire up the oven, no-bake desserts are definitely the way to go. 

This Raspberry No-Bake Cheesecake also makes a great patriotic dessert for Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day. The raspberries give a pretty red swirl to the cheesecake and you can top it with Blueberry Sauce to make it red, white and blue.

This cheesecake is quick to make and can be served in a variety of ways. In the recipe below, I will give you some easy ways that you can enjoy this delicious cheesecake.

Why This Recipe Works

This cheesecake is 100% no-bake when using a pre-made pie shell or mason jars making it a great option for summer. Of course homemade pie crust can also be used if you prefer.

This is an easy recipe that takes less than 20 minutes to make.

You can make a whole pie or individual servings to suit your needs. Individual servings are especially great when serving at a party or other celebration.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Ingredients

Ingredients needed to make no-bake raspberry cheesecake with text overlay.

  • 2 8-ounce packages of full fat cream cheese at room temperature (It’s important the cream cheese be at room temperature so that it can be creamed as smooth as possible.)
  • 14 ounce can full fat sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 packet unflavored gelatin (I use Knox unflavored gelatin that comes in a small box of 4 packets. You can also use 2 1/2 teaspoons of gelatin from a larger jar.)
  • 1 cup of fresh raspberries

The entire recipe and instructions can also be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. You can also print the recipe from the card, if needed.

Prep!

Set your cream cheese out about an hour before you begin to allow it time to come to room temperature.

Create!

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

Reduce the speed and slowly add the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and non-flavored gelatin.

Once everything is well combined, add the raspberries while continuing to mix on low. Once they are broken up and blended in evenly, turn off the mixer.

You can leave the pieces of raspberries more chunky, or blend them until they are broken into small pieces. Either option will work out just fine.

Present!

Pie Crust Options For No-Bake Cheesecake

You can serve this raspberry cheesecake in a variety of ways.

To keep this cheesecake truly no-bake, use a store-bought graham cracker crust. Often, mini graham cracker pie shells for individual servings can also be found.

    This is a great no fuss cheesecake. I love this idea since the freshness of the raspberries stays in the cheesecake unlike when you have to bake one.

    Oh my, this cheesecake is amazing! That blueberry sauce must be too good to handle, so I guess the challenge for the cake is to last at least one day! The closeup is fantastic!
