Have I mentioned I love cheesecakes yet? You’ll come to see that I have to make a cheesecake for pretty much every occasion and then some. My favorite way to make these is the NO BAKE method. But, you’ll still find some baked ones on my site.

How do I bake a cheesecake?

The good news. You don’t need to bake a cheesecake with this recipe. However, if you’re looking for that answer. I have someone you can go visit and get some tips on baking one. With the ingredients used in my recipe, though, you shouldn’t attempt to bake it. You will need different ingredients in order to bake one. But, go check out Prepared’s Pantry’s Four Keys to the perfect cheesecake.

Are cheesecakes hard to make?

Shoot. If they were hard, I probably wouldn’t be making them. I’m all about EASY recipes. You might see me stray off to harder recipes here or there, but mostly about ease. So, NO, cheesecakes are not hard to make at all.

How to make Easter Cheesecakes

For the Funfetti Easter Cheesecake, you’ll need the following….

  • Graham cracker crumbs (you can find these on the baking isle at your local grocery store)
  • Butter
  • White Chocolate Chips
  • Funfetti Cake Mix
  • White Chocolate Pudding Mix
  • Milk
  • Cream Cheese (duh)
  • Cool Whip
  • Spring/Easter/Pastel Sprinkles
Ingredients needed for Funfetti Easter Cheesecake.

You will make the crust using the graham cracker crumbs and butter. Then you’ll mix the pudding and milk together. Put in the fridge. Next, beat the cream cheese, melt the chocolate chips. Mix the two together. Get the pudding out of the fridge and whisk in the cake mix and cool whip. Fold the pudding mix and cream cheese mixture together. Spoon in the crust. Place in the fridge to set.

Talk about a soft cheesecake

This Funfetti Easter Cheesecake is a softer cheesecake. If you’ve had several cheesecakes, you’ll know that they can have different textures. Baked are usually pretty firm. The No Bake kind are softer. But the No Bake can also vary in the “softness”. This is on the pretty darn soft side. You could also use it as a cheesecake dip if you wanted.
