What Makes a No Bake Cheesecake Firm?
Bear in mind that, by their very nature, no bake cheesecakes are going to have a slightly different texture than baked cheesecakes. That said, there are a couple of things to remember when you’re making this no bake summer cheesecake.
Overmixing will make your cheesecake soft, so go easy when you’re blending your topping ingredients.
While cheesecake should be thoroughly mixed with a hand mixer, mixing it too much will result in a sloppy cheesecake filling.
To get your cheesecake to firm up completely, it needs to be refrigerated for a minimum of 6 to 8 hours.
