Neapolitan No Bake Cheesecake

neapolitian no bake cheesecake

This neapolitan no bake cheesecake was a spur of the moment, last minute decision.  Ever since the Blogger National Cheesecake Posting day was announced (make sure you check out the super impressive list of cheesecakes below the recipe), I haven’t had any idea what I truly wanted to make.  My motivation was a bit stuck.

Did I want to bake a cheesecake?  Did I want to keep it light and airy and low key with a no bake cheesecake since it was summer?  I wasn’t totally sure of what I was moving towards but in the end, my crazy schedule made the decision for me.  I am the biggest fan of cheesecake but sometimes the time commitment can be insane!  The long bake time with the pain of the water bath, followed by the “turn off the oven” bake time then the complete cooling, refrigeration and decorating can be a bit much.  Gosh I simply don’t have that type of time right now unfortunately but when I do I will definitely go all out.

This recipe is a nice compromise.  It has some tricks up its sleeve with three different flavors that perfectly come together in a light, creamy and (here’s the best part) quick/easy recipe that is so delicious people will think you spent hours pulling it together.  This recipe requires some freezing and I skipped a few hours to photograph it (hence the sorta melting strawberry cheesecake along the sides of the glasses) but I kinda thought that was pretty so I didn’t fret.  Just make sure you freeze the glasses for at least 4 hours or overnight if you can for a nice firm product.

I have always been a fan of neapolitan flavors because it addresses my chronic indecisiveness.  With this cheesecake, I can have vanilla, chocolate and strawberry in one package, not to mention an easy and delicious package at that.

  3. I actually love that you didn’t fully freeze the strawberry layer. The dripping on the side of the glass is what catches my attention. Not that that will stop me from digging right in!
    Beautiful no bake cheesecake, Jocelyn.

  9. Oh my goodness!! These are SO incredibly gorgeous, I just can’t get over it! And I actually LOVE the way the strawberry layer is sort of melty over the glass— it’s so inviting just to lick it up right off the glass! 😉 Pinned!

  25. What a gorgeous dessert to celebrate cheesecake day!! My kiddo (aka Neopolitan lover) would go crazy for these for sure. And I love that you were able to capture the dripping on the side – that’s no easy task when you’re working with frozen desserts.
