A quick and easy no-bake cheesecake bar recipe featuring a creamy cream cheese filling and crunchy Robin’s Egg candy topping, perfect for festive gatherings and last-minute desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup Robin’s Egg candy, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until mixture resembles damp sand. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9×9 inch pan. Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Beat Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down sides as needed.
  3. Add Vanilla: Mix in pure vanilla extract until evenly combined.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip cold heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  5. Fold Whipped Cream into Cream Cheese Mixture: Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture in three additions using a rubber spatula, keeping as much air as possible.
  6. Assemble the Bars: Pour filling over chilled crust and smooth the top. Sprinkle chopped Robin’s Egg candies evenly over the surface.
  7. Chill Overnight: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  8. Slice and Serve: Run a sharp knife under hot water, dry it, and slice into 12 bars. Serve cold.

Notes

Soften cream cheese well before mixing to avoid lumps. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better volume. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airiness. Press crust firmly and chill well to prevent sogginess. Use a warm knife to slice bars cleanly. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and whipping cream with coconut-based alternatives. For gluten-free, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs and check candy ingredients.
