5-Ingredient No-Bake Cheesecake
This American dessert is a wonderfully simple, lemon-flavoured cheesecake that skips the oven entirely. With only five key components, it comes together quickly before chilling to a perfect, firm consistency. It yields one 9-inch cheesecake, serving eight people, and requires about 65 minutes of total preparation and setting time. It's a versatile treat suitable for everything from relaxed gatherings to more formal dinners.
