Cheesecake Vs No Bake Cheesecake

Cheesecake and no-bake cheesecake differ primarily in preparation and texture.

Traditional cheesecake is baked in an oven, often with a creamy filling made from cream cheese, eggs and sugar, resulting in a dense and rich texture.

No-bake cheesecake, on the other hand, skips the oven entirely, relying on chilling in the refrigerator to set the filling, which typically uses cream cheese and whipped cream or gelatin for a lighter, creamier texture.

Both are delicious, but no-bake cheesecake is quicker and easier to prepare, while baked cheesecake offers a more classic, firm consistency.
