Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Mixture
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant pudding mix (vanilla or flavor of choice)
- 2 cups cold milk
Crust and Topping
- 1 prepared graham cracker crust (9-inch)
- 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
Instructions
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the instant pudding mix and cold milk, whisking until the mixture is fully combined and starts to thicken.
- Fill the Crust: Pour the creamy pudding and cream cheese mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly to the edges.
- Add Topping: Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cheesecake filling to create a light, fluffy layer on top.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until fully set and firm enough to slice and serve.
- Serve: Once chilled and set, slice and enjoy your no-bake pudding cheesecake as a refreshing dessert.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- Use instant pudding mix for quick thickening; regular pudding mix will require cooking.
- For best results, chill the cheesecake overnight to allow flavors to meld.
- Variations can include fruit toppings or different flavored pudding mixes.
- Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for better mixing consistency.
