cheater cheesecake
A friend of mine gave me a version of this recipe. I added the pudding mix to it to solve a problem with it setting up properly. The end result is so delicious, and easy peasy to make.

This cheater cheesecake is a little different from most no-bake cheesecake recipes we've tried. We loved the addition of sour cream. It adds a slight tanginess and makes this taste like a baked cheesecake. Cheesecake pudding helps everything firm up and adds a nice flavor. A delicious warmer weather dessert. We served ours with a homemade raspberry sauce, but the toppings are endless!

How To Make cheater cheesecake
-
Step 1Beat the sugar into the softened cream cheese. Then add the sour cream and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Sprinkle the cheesecake pudding mix into the bowl and beat well with the sour cream mixture. (NOTE: I've used sugar-free pudding mix.) -
Step 2Fold in the Cool Whip until well incorporated into the mixture.
-
Step 3Spread into prepared 8-inch graham cracker pie crust.
-
Step 4Cover and keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
-
Step 5Serve it with a little raspberry sauce, chocolate sauce, or cherry pie filling. Fresh strawberries are also a tasty topping. I intend to try this with vanilla, chocolate, and white chocolate pudding mixes eventually.
