"This No-Bake Cheesecake recipe is the best cheesecake recipe you’ll ever want! A smooth dessert with a mousse-like filling and a buttery graham crust. This ultimate cheesecake is so light and creamy! Top with your favorite fresh fruit, chocolate, or just whipped cream. This cheesecake can be made 1-2 days in advance of serving. It can be frozen up to 3 months. Before serving, decorate with whipped cream, lemon curd, strawberry sauce, fresh berries, salted caramel, or your favorite fruit compote. If you want to make a chocolate cheesecake, just use chocolate wafer cookies as a base instead of graham crackers. Once you’ve mixed the filling, gently stir in 1 cup mini chocolate chips or chocolate shards."
