This No-Bake Cheesecake is perfect for anyone who wants a bakery-quality dessert without the hassle of water baths or cracked tops. By folding lightly whipped heavy cream into a tangy, lemon-kissed cream cheese base, you get a texture that’s airy and mousse-like, yet firm enough to slice beautifully. It’s an ideal make-ahead centerpiece that only improves as it chills in the fridge.
