I am all about easy desserts, especially during springtime, when there seems to be as many barbecues and get-togethers as there are newly sprung flowers. This recipe for No-Bake Boston Cream Pie Cheesecake is a spring-inspired dessert that all of your guests will be drooling over.
I love Boston Cream Pie; the chocolate topping and cream filling is a lethal combination to my diet, but worth every bite. I really wanted to make the pie for some friends I was taking dinner to, but I just didn’t have time. However, I did have time for a no-bake cheesecake. No-bake cheesecakes are my to go-to dessert because I love that I can make it within a matter of 10 to 15 minutes and then sit back while it chills in the fridge. Simple and delicious, no-bake cheesecakes are always a crowd-pleaser.
So that’s when I was inspired to come up with this awesome No-Bake Boston Cream Pie Cheesecake! And it came out just as delicious as I had envisioned.
Instead of doing the traditional graham cracker crust, I went with some vanilla sandwich cookies I bought at Family Dollar. It was nice because I got all of my ingredients from there: the cookies, cream cheese, whipped topping, butter, chocolate chips, and milk! Easy shopping trip + easy desserts = one happy mom!
I like that in addition to picking up all of my ingredients there, I could get another essential for delivering the rest of the dinner to our friends too. This includes paper plates, because who wants to do dishes when you are getting a meal from a friend. I try to make sure there isn’t a thing they need to do or worry about when I take people dinner.
Family Dollar is a great place I found to pick up everyday essentials for spring get-togethers. What I love about Family Dollar is the value I receive as a customer for my money and their Everyday Low Prices make me one happy shopper. The assortment they have available is always a plus as well as the convenience. It is something every mom is looking for.
Boston Cream Pie Cheesecake is one of the most amazing desserts I’ve ever had right here in Denver. While this recipe version of no-bake cheesecake isn’t as decadent, that’s exactly what I love most about it. It’s creamy, yet not overly heavy. Some would argue the cookie sandwich crust is the best part.
An additional benefit of this no bake version of the Boston Cream Pie Cheesecake is that it feeds a crowd. Using a 9×13 pan, you can serve this as 12 slices or 24 – or two if you’re my husband.
If you are taking this No-Bake Boston Cream Pie Cheesecake to a party, make sure to grab a tin foil pan and take it in that. That way, you can leave whenever you want, and the dessert can still stay, assuming it lasts more than 10 minutes.
Here are a few tips on making the perfect no-bake cheesecake.
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that it creams easily.
- Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the crust mixture into the bottom of the pan.
- Melt the butter completely to bind the cookie crust.
- Allow the cheesecake to chill in the fridge 3-4 hours or more.
Looking for an easy dessert that doesn’t take much time to create but makes you look like a star? Try this NO BAKE BOSTON CREAM PIE CHEESECAKE.
This recipe is so delicious, you and your family & friends will fight over the last piece. Enjoy! XOXO San
No-bake vs. bake cheesecake?
Baked cheesecakes are usually heavier, creamier, and more velvety.
No-bake cheesecakes are lighter and airier.
