I need to be honest with you, I’m not a huge fan of cheesecake. I’d take a good ole piece of pie over a slice of cheesecake any day.

But my husband loves cheesecake to the moon and back – and I love making delicious treats for him.  So of course I had to make him the best, creamiest, smoothest, cheesecake – and spoiler alert, this Gluten-Free No-Bake Gingerbread Cheesecake is the only cheesecake I like.

And I want to make it year round, not just around the holidays. I’m a HUGE fan of gingerbread and I’ll eat it any time, all year long.

I’ve been on a huge gingerbread kick and I thought it would be fun to make a Gluten-Free No-Bake Gingerbread Cheesecake for Christmas. I like to put my own spin on recipes and make them as easy as possible.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes. You can use dairy-free butter, dairy-free whipped cream and dairy-free cream cheese. Don’t forget to use a dairy-free graham cracker or cookie for the crust. While the texture will be different then when you use dairy whipped cream and cream cheese the flavor is still phenomenal.

How long will this gluten-free no bake gingerbread cheesecake stay good?

This gluten-free gingerbread cheesecake will stay good in the refrigerator for up to 5 days covered. You can also freeze this gluten-free cheesecake for up to 3 months. I’ve made these no-bake cheesecakes in advance and frozen them. When I was ready to serve them I pulled them out and let them defrost. Easy.

In my opinion, the easiest cheesecakes are the ones you don’t have to bake, and take as few ingredients as possible. Why spend hours in the kitchen when you can have something just as rich and enjoyable in less time?

This particular cheesecake is ridiculously easy. If you don’t believe me check out the video. You can use your favorite gluten-free animal cookies, or the Glutino ones.

I firmly believe this cheesecake is better then anything your going to pick up at the store and it’s going to cost you a lot less then if you were to purchase it already made up.

This no-bake cheesecake takes less than 30 minutes to prepare and is ready in about 3 hours (time to chill).

Most people already have the ingredients in their gluten-free pantry or refrigerator. You can dress it up with chocolate sauce or chocolate chips – or you can enjoy every bite as-is. It’s creamy, smooth, and perfectly balanced with the right amount of filling to crust ratio.

If you are living a dairy-free lifestyle and you’re dying to find a similar cheesecake recipe that is also dairy-free, I recommend you try my gluten-free, dairy-free Raw Gingerbread Cheesecake. It’s scrumptious.
