No Bake 4th of July Cheesecake

This no bake cheesecake is the perfect dessert for the 4th of July. It is easy to make, cool and creamy with the most amazing cherry, blue raspberry and vanilla flavors. Not only is it easy to make, it has a stunning presentation.

Key Ingredients

  • Cream Cheese– Make sure the cream cheese is room temperature. If not, you will end up with lumps in the batter.
  • Torani Vanilla Syrup– This is going to give you that burst of vanilla flavor.
  • Wilton Red and Blue Food Coloring Gel– The food coloring will give that stunning appearance.
  • Koolaid– Cherry and Blue Raspberry are added for the flavors.

How to Make 4th of July Cheesecake

Make the crust by melting the butter and then add the crumbs and sugar. Mix together well. Make the crust in a 6 inch springform pan. Place the crust in the freezer.

Make the Cheesecake Layer

In a mixing bowl, beat together heavy cream, sugar and vanilla. Add the cream cheese and beat until smooth. Divide the cheesecake batter into 3.

In one bowl, add red food coloring and Cherry Koolaid. Place the red batter in the crust and place it back in the freezer.

In the next bowl, add the vanilla syrup. Add the white layer on top of the red layer once it is firm. Place it back in the freezer.

In the last bowl, add the blue food coloring, Blue raspberry lemonade Koolaid and sugar to the batter, mixing well. When the white layer is firm, add the blue layer. Freeze the cheesecake overnight.

Before time to serve the Cheesecake, make the frosting and decorate.

Can I Make the Red, White and Blue without Kool-Aid

Does the No Bake 4th of July Cheesecake Stay in the Freezer or Refrigerator?

This cheesecake needs to stay in the freezer. If you do not have room, you can keep it in the refrigerator for a few hours, but it will need to be frozen again to maintain the structure.
