These no-bake cheesecake bars combine creamy cheesecake with spiced cookie butter on a crunchy buttery crust, delivering a rich and indulgent dessert without any oven time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits, finely crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup creamy cookie butter
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: additional cookie butter drizzle, crushed cookies or graham cracker crumbs, whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a medium bowl. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed (about 3 minutes).
  2. Pour the crumb mixture into an 8×8-inch pan and press firmly into an even layer using the bottom of a glass or your fingers. Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with cookie butter and powdered sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, mixing just to combine (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions using a spatula, keeping the mixture light and airy.
  6. Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top.
  7. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  8. Once set, cut into 12 bars using a sharp knife (dip the knife in hot water and wipe dry between cuts for clean edges). Add optional toppings if desired.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Whip cream to stiff peaks but avoid overwhipping. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airiness. Chill bars overnight for best texture. Warm knife between cuts for clean slices. Use quality cookie butter for best flavor.
