No Bake Cheesecake Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Line a 13-inch-by-9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. In a food processor, or in a resealable plastic bag, crush the graham crackers until you have fine crumbs (but stop before you have dust). You should have about 2 1/4 cups. Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl. Add the butter, sugar and salt, and stir until evenly moistened. Tip the crumbs into the prepared pan and press them down into an even layer on the bottom. Transfer to the freezer while you prepare the filling.
• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until fluffy, 3 minutes. Beat in the yogurt just until combined, about 30 seconds. In a separate bowl, beat the cream until you have stiff peaks. With a large rubber spatula, fold the cream into the cream-cheese mixture. Transfer the filling to the prepared crust and spread it out into an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until very cold, at least 6 hours or up to overnight. Keep the bars refrigerated until serving.
• To serve, cut the bars away from the two exposed edges of the pan with a sharp knife. Use the parchment overhang to very carefully transfer the bar to a cutting board. (Be careful: The crust is tender.) Cut into squares to serve.

Steps:

• For the crust: Line an 8-inch square pan with foil so it overhangs on two sides and lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Put the chocolate and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until the chocolate is melted and smooth, about 1 minute.
• Put the graham crackers in a food processor and process until finely ground. Add the melted chocolate mixture and process until the mixture is the texture of very wet sand. Press the crust into the bottom of the prepared pan, cover and refrigerate while preparing the cheesecake layer.
• For the cheesecake: Clean out the food processor bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons water in a small microwave-safe bowl and set aside to soften, about 5 minutes. Microwave the dissolved gelatin, stirring every 10 seconds, until melted.
• Combine the cream cheese, buttermilk, peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and melted gelatin in the food processor and process until smooth and the sugar has dissolved. Rub a little of the mixture between your fingers, if it is still gritty then continue to process.
• Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Sprinkle the top with the peanuts. Wrap the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the cheesecake layer is set, about 2 hours. The bars can be assembled and refrigerated overnight. Cut into 12 bars.

Steps:

• For the cookie crust: Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment, leaving about a 2-inch overhang on all sides.
• Whisk together the cookie crumbs, sugar and melted butter in a medium bowl until combined. Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Refrigerate until firm, 45 to 60 minutes.
• For the cheesecake filling: While the cookie crust chills, add the cream cheese, strawberries, sugar and vanilla to a blender. Blend mixture starting at low speed and bring it up to high until smooth. (If needed, use the tamper to push all the ingredients down towards the blades. This will ensure everything is blended evenly and smoothly.) Pour the mixture into a medium bowl. Add half of the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and gently fold in using a rubber spatula. Repeat with remaining whipped cream.
• Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, spread and smooth with a spatula.
• Freeze the cheesecake for at least 4 hours. Use the parchment overhang to remove cheesecake from the pan and use a hot knife to cut into 9 bars. Keep frozen and put in refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
• To serve the bars, place the whipped cream in a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe a rosette of whipped cream on top of each bar. Gently place the blueberries and strawberries on top of the whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine crushed graham crackers, nuts if using, and melted butter.
• Press evenly into a bottom of an 8-or 9-inch square pan (glass is recommended) to form a crust about 1/4 inch thick.
• Put crust in refrigerator until ready to use.
• Using a standing or hand mixer, or a whisk, combine cream cheese, ricotta cheese, honey, lemon rind and salt. Blend until smooth.
• Spread cheese mixture carefully and evenly over crust, using a spatula or butter knife to smooth top.
• Cover with fresh blueberries and chill for at least an hour or until set.
• Cut into square or bars and serve.

Steps:

• Combine crushed wafers, brown sugar, and butter in a food processor; pulse until mixture comes together. Press into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan to make the crust.
• Beat cheesecake pudding mix gradually into the whipped topping until smooth. Spread evenly over the crust.
• Spread cherry pie filling over the whipped topping layer. Cover and refrigerate until flavors combine, 8 hours to overnight. Cut into bars.

Steps:

• Prepare the crust: Place the graham crackers in a resealable plastic bag. Close the bag and, using a rolling pin, heavy can or other blunt object, crush the graham crackers into a coarse rubble. To the bag, add the melted butter, sugar and salt, and mix thoroughly.
• Transfer the crumbs to an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan and press into the bottom of the pan with your hands, forming a thick, sturdy base. Place in the freezer to set while you make the filling.
• Make the filling: In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together 1/4 cup cold tap water and the gelatin. Let sit to bloom. Meanwhile, use a blender to purée the cantaloupe, cream cheese, sugar and salt until smooth.
• Heat the cream in a small saucepan on the stovetop over medium until simmering at the edges or in a small bowl in the microwave until hot to the touch, 45 to 60 seconds on high. Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot cream and stir vigorously until smooth. Transfer the cream to the blender and blend with the cantaloupe until smooth.
• Take the pan out of the freezer and pour the filling over the graham cracker crust. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours or up to overnight. Cut into bars and serve, drizzled with honey, if you like.

Steps:

• Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Mix graham crumbs, butter and 2 Tbsp. sugar; press onto bottom of pan. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
• Melt 6 oz. chocolate as directed on package; cool slightly. Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until blended. Gently stir in COOL WHIP. Pour half the batter into medium bowl; stir in melted chocolate. Pour over crust; cover with remaining plain batter. Melt remaining chocolate; drizzle over batter.
• Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm. Use foil handles to remove cheesecake from pan before cutting to serve.

Steps:

• Line 13"x9" pan with foil, extending ends of foil over sides of pan to use later to lift out of pan.
• Mix graham crumbs, butter & 2 tablespoons sugar.
• Press firmly onto bottom of prepared pan, then refrigerate while preparing filling.
• Microwave 6 of the chocolate squares in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 minute, then stir until chocolate is completely melted.
• Set aside to cool slightly.
• With electric mixer on medium, beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar & vanilla in large bowl until well blended.
• Gently stir in whipped topping.
• Pour half of batter into medium bowl, & stir into it the melted chocolate.
• Pour this mixture over crust, then cover that with the remaining plain batter.
• Melt remaining 2 chocolate squares as directed on package, then drizzle over batter.
• Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm.
• Using foil handles, remove cheesecake from pan, then cut into bars.
• Store tightly covered in refrigerator.
