The base of this cheesecake is a buttery graham cracker crust, which provides a crunchy contrast to the creamy filling. The crust is made by combining finely crushed graham crackers with melted butter and a touch of sugar, then pressing the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to create a firm foundation.
The cheesecake filling is a luscious blend of cream cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, and whipped topping. The cream cheese adds richness and body, while the lemon juice and zest impart a bright, citrusy flavor that complements the sweetness of the raspberries. The whipped topping lightens the mixture, giving it an airy, mousse-like texture.
Fresh raspberries are folded into the cheesecake filling, adding bursts of color and fruity flavor throughout the dessert. For an extra layer of indulgence, a simple raspberry sauce made from fresh raspberries and a bit of sugar can be drizzled over the top of the cheesecake.
This no-bake cheesecake requires several hours in the refrigerator to set, allowing the flavors to meld together and the filling to firm up. The result is a stunning, refreshing dessert that’s as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. With its harmonious blend of tangy lemon, sweet raspberries, and creamy cheesecake, this No-Bake Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake is sure to become a favorite for any occasion.
