To be honest, neither cheesecake is better than the other one. They both are great in their own way. It all narrows down to your personal preferences. If you enjoy dense and velvety cake, a baked cheesecake is the one for you.

I'd say it's too much liquid in the cheesecake batter and it didn't set fast enough and the liquid and moisture got into the base. Baking the base would help, but I guess if you need to bake it then there's no point to make a no bake cheesecake. Buiscuits, butter and a bit of cocoa powder for the base.

You can line your tin with parchment paper or an acetate strip to make them easier to get out – but that is up to you! I find using a springform tin is MUCH better because it automatically makes it easier to get the cheesecake out of the tin – but the bases of these tins can be a little annoying.

No-bake cheesecakes may not need an oven, but they do need a refrigerator and several hours to chill before serving. When the filling is still above 50°F (10°C), it's soft, loose, and airy, something like a mousse, with a crust that crumbles a bit more readily.

Is Philadelphia no bake cheesecake good? ›

It's much lighter than a traditional cheesecake – more mousse-like in texture than cake-like. Cream cheese is blended into a sweet filling that simply needs to set in the fridge before being served. It is much lighter than a baked New York style cheesecake, but every bit as delicious.

Yes! No-bake cheesecake must be refrigerated when it is first made to allow it to set properly. It also requires refrigerating for storage and should not sit out longer than two hours for serving. Any leftovers should also be refrigerated.

Cold ingredients are a big no-no when it comes to cheesecake. If your ingredients are cold you will have to mix them longer which will whip too much air into your batter. If the cake has too much air, it will rise too much in the oven and then the middle will sink when cooling. Nobody wants a sad, sunken cheesecake.

To thicken a no-bake cheesecake, refrigerate it for an extended period or consider adding dissolved gelatin, more cream cheese, or Greek yogurt to the mixture before chilling.

If not, this can lead to a lousy outcome. It is essential to ensure that your oven is set to the right temperature before placing your cheesecake.

If the cheesecake still has a little wobble in the centre, it means it's ready. Baking it until this disappears will mean over baking it and causing the unsightly crack to appear on top. Be brave and turn the oven off when it still wobbles.
