No bake red velvet cheesecake
I love red velvet desserts and this is the perfect time of year to enjoy them- Valentine’s Day! As I’ve told you before, I don’t go crazy for holidays like this, but since red velvet is SO easy to make I just can’t help myself! This red velvet cheesecake recipe is the perfect easy dessert to make for your Valentine’s Day celebration, and if you’re a lover of anything red velvet, you’ll LOVE it!
Easy No Bake Cheesecake Recipe
The best no bake cheesecakes are ones with a little bit of melted chocolate added to them, and this easy no bake cheesecake recipe calls for both white and semi-sweet melted chocolate. It really gives the cheesecake that classic chocolatey flavour that makes red velvet desserts so unique. Plus, it creates the perfect smooth texture and clean slices that take any no bake cheesecake over the top. It’s my favourite ingredient to add to many of my no bake cheesecakes! I use melted chocolate in Easy No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake as well as my Best Ever No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake.
What makes red velvet cake red?
It’s a really good idea to use gel or paste food colouring for this recipe instead of the liquid food colouring drops. The paste or gel food colouring is more concentrated. So, as a result, you’ll end up needing less food colouring. This is important because adding too much food colouring can affect the taste and texture of the cheesecake and cause it not to set properly. My favourite red food colouring for this recipe is Wilton’s No Taste Red Food Colouring Gel (affiliate link). It creates a gorgeous red colour that red velvet desserts are known for. Plus, it has no taste, making it perfect for this recipe.

How to make the perfect no bake cheesecake
Need some no bake cheesecake tips to take your no bake cheesecakes over the top?? Here are all my favourite tips for making the best no bake cheesecake ever:
- Use full fat cream cheese. Low fat cream cheese has a high water content and liquifies much more easily at room temperature than full fat cream cheese does. Using full fat cream cheese will help your no bake cheesecakes stay firm and help them slice cleanly for serving. And it’ll make them extra creamy!
- Use whipped cream or whipped topping whipped to stiff peaks. Under-whipped cream can be too liquid-y and therefore prevent the cheesecake from setting. Make sure you fold it in carefully to the filling.
- Set the cheesecake in the fridge first, and then the freezer for best results. My no bake cheesecakes always turn out best when the chill for a few hours in the fridge and then spend 4-5 hours in the freezer to firm up for those gorgeous, clean slices.
- Don’t add too many extra ingredients. Too many chunks of chocolate, fruit, cookies, or sprinkles, or any other add-ins can prevent the cheesecake from setting properly and make it more difficult to slice cleanly. Be sure to use only what the recipe calls for, or none at all!
