How Long Does it Take to Make This No Bake Cheesecake Recipe

While it doesn’t take more than a few minutes to make this No Bake Cheesecake, it does take time for the cheesecake to set. Once the Cookie Monster Cookie Cheesecake is made, it will need to be in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours or overnight. Before serving the no bake cheesecake, you will want to freeze it for about 20 minutes. Because this no bake cheesecake is softer than traditional cheesecake, it can be difficult to cut. Freezing the cheesecake makes it easier to slice.

How to Cut the Cookies and Cream Cheesecake

After freezing the cheesecake it will be easier to cut, however, sometimes cutting a cheesecake can make a mess. The best way to cut the cookies and cream cheesecake is to start with a warm knife. Before cutting the cheesecake run the knife under hot water. Between each slice, clean the knife completely. Also, dipping the knife into hot water after each slice will help as well.

Other ways to cut a cheesecake is using cheese wire and even dental floss. While it seems like an odd choice for ways to cut cheesecake, both of these methods help to give clean cuts.

How Long Does the No Bake Cheesecake Recipe Last

This type of cheesecake will usually last about 5 days when stored correctly. The no bake cheesecake needs to be stored in the refrigerator. Be sure to cover it well using plastic wrap, freezer bags or another air tight container.

Can This Creamy Cheesecake Recipe be Frozen

Whenever you make this creamy cheesecake recipe, you might have more cheesecake than you can eat before it spoils. If this is the case, you can freeze the cheesecake. The cheesecake can be frozen as is, or cut into slices. I like to cut it into slices so that it can be thawed and eaten one slice at a time. This is great when you do not think that the entire cheesecake will be eaten at once. The cheesecake will stay good for several months in the freezer.

Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Recipe

What takes this cheesecake to a whole new level is that the cookies are inside the cheesecake. After making the cheesecake, you will add crumbled cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and Oreos, into the batter. Once the cheesecake sets, these cookies are set into place. You are also adding the same cookies to the outside of the cheesecake to create the Cookie Monster part of the cheesecake. The addition of the cookies makes an already amazing cheesecake even better.
