White Chocolate Cheesecake Ingredients
Cream cheese: You will need one 8-ounce sized package of softened Philadelphia Cream Cheese for the base of this cheesecake recipe.
Milk: Use 1 ¼ cups of cold milk to get this cheesecake to the right consistency and to help dissolve the pudding so it is nice and smooth.
Jello pudding: You only need one small 3.3-ounce sized package of JELL-O White Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding to help give this cheesecake a lovely sweet flavor.
Cool Whip: Using 1 ½ cups of thawed whipped topping will make this cheesecake texture nice and fluffy. This is roughly ½ of an 8-ounce tub of Cool Whip.
Pie crust: To make the prep even simpler use 1 store bought graham cracker pie crust bottom. If desired you can make your own from scratch using this recipe NO-BAKE LEMON CHEESECAKE.
White Chocolate: We shaved a 2 oz white chocolate bar into curls to add to the top the set cheesecake.
How to make White Chocolate Cheesecake
Pie Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and ¼ cup of milk, with a whisk, until blended.
Then, add in the remaining milk and the dry pudding mix. Beat together for 1 minute.
After that, stir in the Cool Whip until all ingredients are fully combined.
Assemble
Proceed to pour the cheesecake filling into the pie crust.
Spread the filling out evenly so that there are no gaps, and the top of the cheesecake looks smooth and even all around.
Chill & Serve
Then, place the pie into the fridge for at least 4 hours to chill until set.
Once it has set and is fully chilled, add the remaining Cool Whip to the top and carefully spread out.
Using a small grater, grate the white chocolate bar into small curls and add to the top of the pie for wonderful flavor and beautiful decoration.
Slice, serve immediately, and enjoy!
Variations and Substitutions for No-Bake Cheesecake
There are many ways to customize White Chocolate Cheesecake to suit individual preferences and dietary restrictions. Here are a few ideas for substitutions and variations:

- Nuts too: Add chopped nuts, such as pecans or almonds, to the top of the cake for extra crunch and flavor.

Optional: Replace the Cool Whip with STABILIZED WHIPPED CREAM
If you want to make whipped cream ahead of time, you can, but you have to stabilize it. To make stabilized whipped cream, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 ounces of cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Beat the whipping cream just until soft peaks form.
Add in the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla. Whip on high until mixture is smooth.
Store in the refrigerator until ready to use, up to 3 days.
A little tip for making whipped cream faster: use a metal bowl and place the bowl in the freezer for about 30 minutes before you make the whipped cream. This will significantly decrease the amount of time that you will need to beat the whipped cream – the process will go much faster!
How long is no bake cheesecake good for?
This no-bake cheesecake is good for about 3-5 days if kept well covered and stored in the fridge. This cheesecake tastes so good that you’ll have no problems eating it before that point.
Why didn’t my no-bake cheesecake set?
To ensure the cheesecake filling firms up completely, it needs to be refrigerated for the full 4 hours, or more if you have the time to wait. If you skip this step, the texture of the cheesecake will be more like mousse.
How do you tell if a no-bake cheesecake has set?
You will know that your cheesecake has been set properly when the cheesecake is firm to the touch. This means that if you were to touch the filling on top of the pie, you should see your fingerprint and it should bounce slightly on top, meaning that your finger doesn’t easily poke right through a soft filling.
Another good way to note that it has set is by trying to slice through it with a knife, if your slice can hold shape and the cheesecake doesn’t bend or curve like it’s trying to topple over, then it has chilled enough for proper support.

Alaina says
Hi! While the flavor is great, unfortunately my cream cheese curdled (or maybe not curdled, but there are small lumps). What did I do wrong? The cream cheese was room temperature and the milk was cold. Would love to get it right. Thanks so much!
Jessica says
Hmmm… there’s nothing in the recipe that would curdle the cream cheese, so I don’t think that’s it. What kind of cream cheese did you use? Maybe next time beat the cream cheese just by itself, then add the milk slowly? Did you use a stand mixer or hand mixer?
