A creamy and delicious No-Bake Pudding Cheesecake that combines smooth cream cheese with instant pudding mix and whipped topping over a crunchy crust. This easy-to-make dessert requires no baking, making it perfect for quick preparation and a crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until all crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish to form an even crust layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  2. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whisk the instant pudding mix with cold milk until it thickens, about 2 minutes. Fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese until well combined, then gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm and set.
  4. Serve: Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator, release from the pan if using a springform, slice, and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For best results, soften the cream cheese ahead of time to avoid lumps.
  • You can substitute the graham cracker crust with a chocolate cookie crust for a different flavor.
  • Add fresh fruit toppings like strawberries or blueberries just before serving for extra freshness.
  • Keep the cheesecake well chilled to maintain its texture.
  • If preferred, use sugar-free pudding mix for a lower sugar version.
