Need an easy dessert that you can take to parties or gatherings? Try this crustless, no bake cheesecake! It’s ready with just 15 minutes hands on time!

I love easy desserts. For our fellowship gathering, I have been making this crustless cheesecake. It’s gluten free, so that nearly everyone can enjoy it. Since we have people with celiac disease in our fellowship, I like to make sure they can enjoy dessert, too.

The fresh fruit also means that it has far less sugar. Plus, all the nutrition that berries can offer, such as Vitamin C and fiber.

It’s such a big hit, that I usually have to make double or triple the recipe. Even with that, it doesn’t last long!

Now, why would I make this no bake cheesecake recipe a crustless cheesecake?

Well, to be honest, it makes it easier to avoid gluten. Even some graham crackers crusts can have gluten fillers. Making it yourself can be tricky, if you don’t remember to grab crackers at the store. Yeah, that’s me who often forgets.)

It was one such weekend that I was preparing for our gathering, and I realized that I had forgotten the graham crackers. Since I wasn’t able to go to the store and get more, I had to adapt. Quickly.

Thus the crustless cheesecake was born.

Isn’t this just cheesecake filling, topped with fruit?

Yup. That’s exactly what it is. But, who can turn down deliciously thick, creamy, and sweet filling?

Do I have to make this in a square pan, or can I use a cheesecake pan?

You can certainly use as springform pan to make this. Instead of chilling in the fridge, you would want to freeze it for 3-4 hours before removing the outer ring. I like to put it in a cake pan for ease of serving, especially with larger groups.
