Frequently Asked Questions

What Can I Use Instead of Graham Crackers?

Graham crackers are the most popular choice when it comes to choosing ingredients to make a cheesecake crust, and that’s simply because of how versatile they are. They have a very subtle flavor, are easily available, and are inexpensive too.
If you don’t have them or are just looking for an alternative, you can opt for Nilla wafers, digestive biscuits, golden Oreos, or practically any other vanilla flavored or subtle flavored biscuits.
And of course, if you fancy a nice chocolate flavored crust, you can always use Oreo crumbs- just make sure you remove the cream portion in the center and then process it into crumbs.

What Else Can I Add to the No-Bake Fruit Smoothie Cheesecake?

This classic smoothie cheesecake is a winner in all aspects. But if you really want to go the extra mile, you can transform this into a layered cheesecake by first spreading a layer of the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture without the berries added, and then following it up with a layer of the mixture, with the berries added into it.

Can I Use Fresh Berries Instead of Frozen Berries?

Yes, you definitely can. While using thawed frozen berries is the best option in terms of flavor and texture, you can still opt for fresh berries if that’s what you prefer. Keep in mind that you might need to increase the amount of berries you are adding to get the perfect berry smoothie flavor into your cheesecake.

How Do I Fix a Runny Cheesecake Mixture?

If your cheesecake mixture seems too soft, despite the fact that you followed all the instructions correctly (which can happen if you use low-fat cream cheese), you can fix it and get the perfect consistency you are looking for.
You can pop it into the freezer for a few minutes to help it solidify. If that doesn’t work, you can mix a little unflavored gelatin into the mixture and then top it on the graham cracker crust.

How to Store the Fruit Smoothie Cheesecake

Your no-bake fruit smoothie cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Just make sure you cover it well, ideally transfer it to an airtight container.
The cheesecake can also be frozen, but just like with most other cheesecakes, there is always a risk of condensation. If you must, just make sure you use a freezer-safe container, and allow it to thaw in the refrigerator for a day before you get it out and dig into it.

Tips to Make the No-Bake Fruit Smoothie Cheesecake

Ready to finally give the recipe a shot? Keep these additional tips and tricks in mind to make sure you nail the recipe.

Always remember to get the cream cheese to room temperature before you use it for this recipe, and practically any other no-bake cheesecake recipe. This will ensure that your cream cheese mixture is absolutely silky smooth- just the way you want it to be.
If you want the natural flavor of the berries to shine through, and don’t want your cheesecake to be overly sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar you’re adding in, especially in the crust.
Remember that no-bake cheesecakes rely on refrigeration time to set well and hold their shape and structure, so make sure you allow the cheesecake to chill for at least 8-12 hours before you serve it. This will help you get those perfect, sharp-looking cheesecake slices that you so want.
Another tip to ensure that the cheesecake slices look perfect and set well is to let the crust chill in the freezer for a few minutes before you pour the cheesecake mixture on the top.
To enhance the flavor of the cheesecake mixture, you can also add a bit of lemon zest into it.
To get your whipping cream to the soft peak stage faster, make sure it is cold, and that you are using a cold bowl and whisk. It makes sense to pop the bowl and whisk in the freezer for a few minutes before you start with the recipe.
