*This specific crust recipe is not no-bake, it’s the cheesecake filling that is no-bake. (And if you’ve ever made real cheesecake, the 10 minutes of crust baking in this recipe is nothing compared to waiting on a real cheesecake to bake). If you're short on time (or an oven), go ahead and buy a pre-made crust (graham cracker will do).
