Quick No-Bake Blackberry Cheesecake Tutorial

 I often crave cheesecake but I never seem to have the time to prepare one. My cravings usually hit around 3:30pm and I like to have dessert ready to go by 6:00pm- you know, to enjoy after dinner. So I make this super easy and quick no-bake cheese cake in those situations. It's softer than a traditional cheesecake but tastes so good, no one will care. You can substitute the blackberries with whatever berry you want!

No-Bake Blackberry Cheesecake

Ingredients

2 teaspoon lemon juice

 In a bowl, combine the berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss to coat, set aside.

Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until smooth.

Step 3

Spread the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust. Spread berries over the top. Chill for 2 hours.

Step 4

Enjoy!
