I’ve made this recipe twice. Once for a birthday party and once for a family gathering. I layered it with graham cracker crumbs and it was a huge hit!! Everyone loved it and I can’t get enough of it! It is so simple and easy to make, yet absolutely delicious!

Really, this no-bake mousse is the perfect dessert any time of year. It’s so versatile because there are so many ways to top it off.

Strawberries or raspberries are great for Valentine’s Day, but hot fudge or caramel sauce with nuts would be equally delicious.

Just think about your favorite flavors of cheesecake and the possibilities are endless. You could even add a graham cracker crumb crust mixture to the bottom of your serving dishes.

No-Bake Cheesecake Mousse

I like to add the graham cracker crust if I want to get a few more servings from the recipe. Regular or chocolate cookie crumbs are both delicious!

I used miniature dessert dishes for my mousse and got five servings, but that’s obviously going to vary depending on the size of your dishes.

Four ounce Mason jars are another fun way to serve this dessert. The mousse is rich and creamy, so it really is the kind of dessert where you don’t need a big bowl full.

This mousse is also great for layered parfait style desserts, but it’s just as heavenly on it’s own, so don’t hesitate to serve it as is.

This is one of those easy but elegant looking desserts that makes people think  you went to a lot of effort. Know one has to know it only takes a few minutes to whip up this delicious, no-bake cheesecake!
