Low Budget No Bake Easy Vanilla Cheesecake

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 10 vanilla wafers

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the milk, vanilla extract, and confectioners' sugar.
  2. Position the block of cream cheese in the centre of the bowl with the other ingredients.
  3. Mix using a hand mixer for 3 minutes until fully combined. If using a stand mixer, start on a low speed and gradually increase to 4, scraping the bowl once. Hand whisking will take about 10 minutes of vigorous effort.
  4. Crush the vanilla wafers into crumbs by hand, with a rolling pin, or in a food processor.
  5. Transfer the biscuit crumbs to a rectangular or circular container, preferably one with a lid.
  6. Pour the prepared cream cheese mixture over the layer of biscuit crumbs.
  7. Freeze the cheesecake for 10-20 minutes to allow it to set.
  8. Move it to the refrigerator or serve it immediately.
  9. Keep any leftovers covered in the fridge, where they will stay fresh for 3-5 days.
