What is "Funfetti"?

Funfetti is a type of cake that is made with colorful sprinkles mixed into the batter. It's a popular choice for birthday cakes and other celebrations. The word "funfetti" comes from the combination of the words "fun" and "confetti". Makes a ton of sense, right? No - you're right, weird, but it's fun.

And though this particular no-bake cheesecake recipe is not a traditional baked cake (obviously), this pristine cheesecake with sprinkles is the epitome of birthday fun - without an ounce of baking.

What Goes into Making No-Bake Funfetti Cheesecake?

For the crust:

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoon melted butter
• ¼ cup confectioners sugar

For the filling:

• 16 fl. oz (2 cups) whipped topping
• 2 cups cream cheese
• 1 cup cake mix
• ¾ cup confectioners sugar
• ¼ cup bright sprinkles
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Kitchen Tools Needed

• Measuring cups and spoons
• Mixing bowls
• Hand mixer
• 9-inch springform pan
• Medium saucepan

How to Make Funfetti Cheesecake

To make the crust, in a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, the melted butter, and confectioners sugar. Stir the mixture until well combined.

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform cake pan. Place the cake pan into the fridge to allow the crust to set.

To make the filling, with a hand mixer, whip the cream cheese until smooth. 

Combine the whipped topping and cream cheese in a large bowl, mixing until well combined.

Add the cake mix, confectioners sugar, half of the bright sprinkles and the vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and stir together until well incorporated. 

Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the cake pan, smoothing the top of the filling to make it neat and tidy.

Decorate with the remaining sprinkles and additional whipped topping, if desired.

Place the cheesecake in the fridge for at least 2 hours or more, until ready to serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use a Pre-Made Crust?

Absolutely! If you're short on time or just don't feel like making a crust from scratch, you can absolutely use a store-bought graham cracker crust. Just be sure to press the crust into the pan firmly so that it's nice and compact. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking when you cut into it.

Can You Make This Cheesecake Vegan?

Yes, this no-bake cheesecake can easily be made vegan. Simply use a vegan cream cheese in place of the regular cream cheese. I also recommend using a plant-based whipped topping.

If you can't find a plant-based whipped topping, you can easily whip some up by using coconut cream and powdered sugar - just make sure that your cream is not liquidy at all. It'll whip up much more nicely if it's as strained as possible.

Can You Make This Cheesecake Gluten-Free?

Yes, this no-bake cheesecake can be made gluten-free by using a gluten-free graham cracker crust. You can usually find these pre-made at the grocery store, or you can make your own with gluten-free graham crackers.

Tips for Storing No-Bake Funfetti Cheesecake

This no-bake cheesecake can be stored in the fridge for up to five days. I recommend covering it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out. If you want to make this dessert ahead of time, you can freeze it for up to two months. Just be sure to wrap it well before freezing.
