What You’ll Need
To make the ideal No-Bake Woolworth Icebox Cheesecake, gather the following ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Graham cracker crumbs | 2 cups |
| Unsalted butter, melted | 1/2 cup |
| Granulated sugar | 1 cup |
| Cream cheese, softened | 2 packages (8 oz each) |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Frozen whipped topping, thawed | 1 container (8 oz) |
| Cherry pie filling (optional) | 1 can |
Directions
Step 1: Create the Crust
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until evenly coated.
Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish, forming a smooth and compact base. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass for even pressure.
Place the crust in the fridge to set while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Using a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, then continue mixing until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is light and fully blended.
Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake
Take the crust out of the refrigerator.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the crust with a spatula.
Optionally, add a topping of cherry pie filling or your favorite fruit topping for extra flavor.
Step 4: Chill and Enjoy
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to let the cheesecake set properly and the flavors develop.
Once set, remove from the fridge, slice into squares or preferred portions, and serve chilled.
Enjoy your homemade no-bake cheesecake—perfect for any occasion or sweet craving!
