This mouth-wateringly creamy No-Bake Cheesecake is the perfect dessert for when you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen. It truly doesn’t get much easier when it comes to creating a dessert that feels so extravagant; you’re just crushing cookies and mixing a few ingredients. That’s it! PS You can make this up to 4 days ahead!

What Is a No-Bake Cheesecake?

Most cheesecakes (like New York, Philadelphia, or Basque) are made with eggs and baked, which gives them a rich, velvety mouthfeel and firm texture. Making traditional cheesecake is a WHOLE THING. Which is why I love No-Bake Cheesecake! It’s regular cheesecake’s less fussy younger cousin. You don’t use eggs. Instead, you use whipped cream to create a much lighter texture than a traditionally baked cheesecake. It’s also really easy to go plant-based when you make a No-Bake Cheesecake!

Ingredients For No-Bake Cheesecake

This easy-to-make No-Bake Cheesecake comes together in fifteen minutes with just a handful of ingredients. My favorite kind of dessert! The hardest part is waiting for it to set. Here’s what you’ll need to get this No-Bake Cheesecake on your table:

  • Honey-Graham Crackers: These cookies are the base of our crust. If you don’t like graham crackers, use your favorite cookie here. Oreos (minus the filling) and Shortbread Cookies are great substitutions.
  • Salted Butter: Helps pull the crust together. If you don’t have salted butter, use unsalted, and add 1/8th teaspoon salt to the crust mixture. If you’re dairy-free, substitute with plant-based butter.
  • Brown Sugar: Helps sweeten the crust. Since cheesecake is served chilled, you won’t be able to taste the sugar as much as if it were a room-temperature dessert. So, we add a touch of sugar to the crumbled cookies to make sure the sweetness shows up. However, if you’re watching your sugar intake and want to leave it out, go for it. The crust will work without it.
  • Heavy Whipping Cream: Will be whipped to stiff peaks to lighten the cream cheese filling. If you’re plant-based, sub with unsweetened coconut cream.
  • Cream Cheese: Because what would a cheesecake be without it? You can use plant-based cream cheese as well.
  • Greek Yogurt: Adds a tanginess to the filling that helps develop a more intricate flavor profile without complicating things. You can substitute it with sour cream. For my dairy-free friends, use a plant-based sour cream or yogurt.
  • Powdered Sugar: Is the best option for sweetening, as it will dissolve immediately into the filling. Make your own by blending 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch until the mixture is powdery. You can also sweeten the filling with 1/3 cup of honey.
  • Vanilla: scents the filling and adds depth.

What To Serve With No-Bake Cheesecake 

This easy breezy dessert is perfect topped with our Strawberry Syrup, Lemon Curd, Cherry Sauce, or Blueberry Sauce. If you want to garnish with fruit, frozen and thawed blueberries or cherries are an easy and economical option. You can, of course, top this easy cheesecake with sliced fresh strawberries.

How To Store No-Bake Cheesecake 

This luscious cheesecake can be made up to four days ahead. If you have any leftovers (highly doubtful), wrap them well and store them in an air-tight container for up to five days in the fridge and three months in the freezer.

Chocolate, raspberry, graham cracker, and marshmallow: not sure about you, but that’s what my dreams are made of. But this surprisingly simple tart is no dream: it’s a rich, decadent reality.

What do you get when you combine a classic milk chocolate s’more with fresh and fruity raspberry flavor? Something gosh darn delicious, that’s what.

This tart has everything: a sweet and salty graham cracker crust, bold raspberry jam, a silky smooth chocolate ganache, and a fluffy, raspberry-scented toasted marshmallow meringue to top it all off.

For as impressive as it is, it’s surprisingly simple.

I call this recipe nearly no-bake, because the crust does need a few minutes in the oven. If you truly can’t stand the thought of turning on your oven in the summer heat, you can set the crust in the fridge or freezer before adding the jam and ganache. However it might be a little less cohesive and slightly more crumbly when you cut into it.

This usual-sounding cake was one of the clipped recipes that have been patiently waiting for almost a few decades (as was the case for this chocolate hazelnut tart and these butterscotch bars), and I’m just now tackling. If a cake made with crushed Graham crackers and spicy speculoos cookies, along with butter, whole wheat flour, and flaky sea salt, sounds good to you, you’re not alone. I traveled across the Atlantic with it!

I’m back on the wagon of tackling the recipes in the bulging files of recipes that I’ve been collecting and hanging on to for the past thirty years. Many pre-date the internet and were from food magazines (made of paper) that I subscribed to. A surprising number of the savory recipes have the words “adobo” or “chipotle,” and “pork” in the title, so if I ever want to write a book of well-seasoned pork recipes, I’ve got plenty of inspiration.

This one is from Gourmet magazine way back in 2004, a few years before they ceased publishing. I knew people in the test kitchen at Gourmet and they thoroughly tested their recipes, so you know they’re going to work. Gourmet was “modernized” under its last editor, Ruth Reichl, but the test kitchen remained a constant; she knew the value of a solid recipe and good testers. She also knew the appeal of a great photo and Romulo Yanes, who recently passed away, created many of the great images that Gourmet was known for.

Many questioned why Condé Nast killed Gourmet but not Bon Appétit, but the subscription numbers were more favorable for the latter, which didn’t end well, and is now undergoing another revamp. I, for one, am happy that there hasn’t been that much turnover here at the blog, but I should probably shake things up here at some point, too.

No Bake Pretzel Peanut Butter Bars

These no-bake pretzel peanut butter bars are a ridiculously simple homemade version of your favorite peanut butter cups!

The post No Bake Pretzel Peanut Butter Bars appeared first on Budget Bytes.

I’m not sure whether to hug or curse the person who invented no-bake peanut butter bars. This homemade version of a peanut butter cup is so ridiculously simple that you might never buy a packaged peanut butter cup at the store again. Especially since you can stash these in your freezer and just take one out to nibble on every now and then. IT’S JUST TOO EASY.

Front view of no bake pretzel peanut butter bars lined up in a grid

No-bake peanut butter bars have been around for eons. Well, decades at least. There are a million versions of this recipe out there, but mine have a slightly more even ratio between the chocolate and peanut butter portions, and I like to nestle a little mini-pretzel in the top for a little added crunch.

Oh, and most no-bake peanut butter bar recipes usually specify not to use natural-style peanut butter, but that’s what I use with mine and it works just fine! :)

What Kind of Nut Butter Can I Use?

I used a natural-style peanut butter made with just peanuts and salt for these peanut butter bars. If you’re allergic to peanuts you can use a different type of nut butter, like almond or cashew (although those will be quite a bit more expensive).

Just make sure you choose a nut butter that is quite firm when refrigerated and soft when room temperature. As long as it firms up when refrigerated, it will work for these bars. Oh, and make sure it has at least a little salt and is very well stirred before adding to the recipe. Too much oil and the bars won’t set.

Choose Your Chocolate

This recipe is also fairly flexible when it comes to the type of chocolate used. I used plain old semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you could have a little fun and use dark chocolate, or a different flavored chocolate chip if you’d like.

How to Store Peanut Butter Bars

You’ll want to keep these peanut butter bars refrigerated so they don’t melt. I suggest keeping them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator no longer than a week, or you can freeze them for longer storage (freezer bag, up to three months or so). To thaw, just let them sit out at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 8 sheets) $0.38
  • 1/2 cup butter $0.82
  • 1 cup peanut butter (+ 2 Tbsp) $1.38
  • 1 cup powdered sugar $0.07
  • 1.5 cups chocolate chips $1.19
  • 25 mini pretzels $0.10

Instructions

  • If your graham crackers aren't already in crumb form, use a food processor to blitz them into a fine crumb.
  • Place the butter and 1 cup of peanut butter in a bowl. Microwave and stir in 30-second intervals, just until they're warm enough to melt together. Stir until evenly combined. (Reserve the last 2 Tbsp peanut butter for later.)
  • Add the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs to the melted peanut butter mixture and stir until evenly combined.
  • Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper making sure some of the paper overhangs on the sides so you can lift the bars out of the dish later. Press the peanut butter mixture into the bottom in an even layer.
  • Add the chocolate chips and the last 2 Tbsp peanut butter to a bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue to microwave and stir in 15 second increments until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter base in the baking dish and spread it smooth. Add the mini pretzels on top in even rows (I did five rows of five across).
  • Refrigerate the peanut butter bars for two hours, or until completely set. Once set, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut them into squares between the pretzels. Enjoy immediately, refrigerate for later, or freeze for long term storage.

How to Make Pretzel Peanut Butter Bars – Step by Step Photos

Graham crackers in a food processor

While you can actually buy graham crackers already in crumb form, it’s going to be less expensive to make crumbs out of whole crackers. You want a very fine and even crumb for this, so a food processor is probably the best option. You need 1 cup of crumbs, which should be about 8 sheets of graham crackers.

Graham cracker crumbs in a food processor

Whiz those graham crackers until they’r every fine and even.

Peanut butter and butter in a bowl

Add 1 cup peanut butter and ½ cup butter (I used salted) to a bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds or just long enough that they’ll melt together. Avoid heating it until it’s piping hot. That will make the later steps more difficult. Stir until the mixture is even and smooth.

Graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar added to the peanut butter

Add the graham cracker crumbs and 1 cup powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture.

Peanut butter base mixture in the bowl with a spoon

Stir until it forms an even paste-like mixture.

peanut butter base spread into a parchment lined baking dish

Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper so that some of it sticks up the sides (this will help you remove the bars from the dish later). Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the dish.

Chocolate chips and peanut butter in a bowl

Add 1.5 cups chocolate chips and 2 Tbsp peanut butter to a bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir will. Continue to microwave and stir in 15 second increments until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Avoid over heating the chocolate or it will begin to get grainy.

Melted chocolate being spread over the peanut butter base

Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter base and then spread it out until smooth.

Mini pretzels being pressed into the melted chocolate

Press the mini-pretzels into the melted chocolate in rows. I did five rows of five across. Make sure to leave a little space between each because that is where you’ll cut your bars.

No Bake Pretzel Peanut Butter Bars being cut

Refrigerate the peanut butter bars for at least two hours, or until they are solid. Lift them out of the dish using the sides of the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut them into squares between each pretzel.

You can keep your peanut butter bars in the refrigerator for about a week, or freeze them for longer! They thaw pretty quickly at room temperature, so you can get that peanut butter chocolate fix whenever you’d like. ;)

These are seriously the most embarrassingly easy sheet pan s’mores! And you need them.

sheet pan s'mores

I think I’ve died and gone to heaven. Cue all the exclamation points.

And this is soooo not my regular Monday recipe. But we could all use some s’mores!

This was another “recipe” that I shared on instagram when we had my mom’s birthday two weeks ago. I couldn’t believe how many of you asked for the recipe and I hate to say, there really is no recipe! But here is the method for getting the perfect pan of s’mores, sans fire.

chocolate, graham crackers, marshmallows

Now of course, disclaimer:

Yes yes YES I 100% think most of the fun with s’mores is roasting the marshmallow yourself. And just the simple act of roasting it over the fire. It totally MAKES the experience.

But! Here’s the thing. If you don’t have a fire pit, and it’s late, and you have a few family members over (if you’re doing that, right now we’re doing our immediate fam) and you all want s’mores… you’re sort of out of luck.

Sure, the microwave works. I have been known many a time to make a microwaved s’mores in a moment of desperation. I am not ashamed. 

Making sheet pan s’mores is the secret though. Also, a fab idea for a bunch of kids!

chocolate on graham crackers

The first time I made these I had a complete brain meltdown. See, I’m terrible at math (you know this) and even worse, I don’t really care that I’m terrible at math? Thank you iPhone calculators and everything else in the last ten years. I made a big sheet pan and it didn’t register that I would just be adding tops to the s’mores. I kept thinking I was combining the s’mores that were on the sheet.

So we ended up with 25 s’mores. Yes. 25.

Oops! 

That’s a fun mistake though, let me tell you. I was thinking we’d end up with 12, because I’d smash them together. I know. It makes zero sense. Brain meltdown!

sheet pan s'mores

Anyway, that’s why these are so great. You can make a LOT at once and they are all done at the same time. It’s not like you have to wait to share sticks or big skewers for roasting. At the same time, a bunch of people can enjoy their s’mores! That’s a win.

sheet pan s'mores

You can use homemade ingredients if you wish. I’ve made homemade graham crackers here and homemade marshmallows lots of times!

Or you can use store bought ingredients too. I like plain grahams, these big square marshmallows and lindt chocolate (because it’s the best, but also because the square fits so well on a graham!) or a peanut butter cup

sheet pan s'mores

Other bonuses:

The marshmallows still get toasty and brown. I prefer them charred and on fire, but this is close enough.

The chocolate gets wonderfully melty too. Like PERFECTLY melty. You know how sometimes you might have an unmelted bite of chocolate in your s’more? That doesn’t happen with these.

The grahams get a little toasty too. Like, adding-depth-of-flavor toasty. In the best way. This makes them taste richer and nuttier. 

So hi! Hello! When are you making sheet pan s’mores?!

Ingredients

  • 24 graham crackers
  • 12 squares of chocolate lindt is my favorite, or use peanut butter cups
  • 12 marshmallows

Instructions

  • Place your oven rack on the lowest level of the oven. This is important! We’re using the broiler, and placing it on the lowest rack gives the marshmallows and chocolate a minute or two to toast and melt before burning.
  • Preheat the broiler in your oven to high. Place 12 graham crackers on a sheet pan. Top each with a piece of chocolate or a peanut butter cup. Top each with a marshmallow.
  • Place the sheet pan in the oven for 1 to 3 minutes - keeping your eye on it the whole time. This will all depend on your broiler! You want the marshmallows puffed and golden brown on top.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and top with the remaining graham crackers. Serve immediately.

I’ve officially reached the point during this strange time in our lives that not only do I have no idea what day it is, I’m also now losing track of what month it is. Yesterday, I wrote two checks dated March 2nd. It wasn’t the 2nd of the month and definitely was not March.

Between working and homeschooling from home, every single day just jumbles together into a big blob of days. I’ve actually resorted to setting reminders on our Alexa because I can’t seem to even follow a calendar anymore.

One thing we are really good at right now is making desserts. From chocolate cake and brownies to more loaves of banana bread than I can count, Elle and I have been busy in the kitchen. 

And with a slight taste of summer weather this past weekend, it was time to whip up one of our favorite sweet treats – No Bake Cheesecake!
