Get ready to savor a treat that’s as simple to make as it is delicious: No-Bake Cheesecake with Balsamic Berry Sauce. This recipe combines a creamy cheesecake filling with a tangy berry sauce for a delightful dessert that’s sure to please your taste buds.
To start, you’ll need two 8-ounce packages of cream cheese at room temperature, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, a cup of powdered sugar, half a cup of sour cream, and three-fourths of a cup of cold heavy whipping cream. Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, blend the cream cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar until it’s smooth. Then, add the sour cream and heavy whipping cream and mix until it becomes thick and creamy, which takes about 5 minutes. Pour this creamy filling into a store-bought or homemade graham cracker pie crust. Pop it in the fridge for at least 5 hours or overnight to set.
When it’s time to serve, whip up the berry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine a cup of mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries) with a quarter-cup of balsamic vinegar, a quarter-cup of granulated sugar, and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Cook this mixture over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, which takes about 5 minutes. Set the sauce aside to cool for a few minutes.
To serve, slice the cheesecake into individual portions, place them on plates, and drizzle the berry sauce on top. You can also add some extra berries for a fresh and fruity touch.
