Easy No Bake Lemon Bliss Cheesecake Recipe

This no-bake cheesecake has a lighter texture than a traditional baked cheesecake. It’s creamy and almost mousse-like in texture giving it a pleasing mouth feel. Lemon is one of those “happy” flavors that remind me of  warm days filled with sunshine. I admit, I’m a bit of a sunshine girl and prefer warm weather, even super hot days, to the gray days of winter. So, it’s not unusual for me to bake or make something sweet and lemony on a snowy day just to remind myself of the time of year that I love.

    1. I haven’t tested this recipe that size but, yes, likely you would need to at least increase by 1 1/2 our double the amounts. It should be good cut into squares, also. If you try it come back and let us know how it goes.

  1. What can I use in the place of the Lemon Pie Filling? We do not have it here (South Africa. They use Lemon Curd in many recipes & I wondered if that would work.

  2. Man was this good!!! For the topping I JUST MIXED A LITTLE FRESH LEMON JUICE WITH THE COOLWHIP.
