Creamy No Bake Cheesecake

I didn't have time to take more pictures, I didn't have that much self control ;)

My husband who just turned 30, hit the "I'm getting older" stage, and decided to go on a complete health kick, enforcing a no dessert policy.  I have to be on board since I usually make the food and this way we will both be able to stay on track, blah blah blah.  He pretty much lost me after "no dessert".  I decided if we weren't having dessert just for ourselves, that I would make it whenever we went over to friend's houses.  We had just gotten home from visiting family and the next day was Father's Day.  My parents invited us over to have dinner with a few of my sisters and their families.  I knew this was a good opportunity to make something, before we went into complete no dessert.  I had no food in my fridge, but I happen to have all the ingredients on hand for this.  My friend Josie had submitted it the delectable delights cookbook.  I loved it!  It was creamy, and fluffy, and just sweet enough to not be overwhelming.  I even made this two days later when I went out with some old friends.  It is incredibly easy and SO delicious!  I have one more dessert to share before our long stretch of no desserts.  It is the best double chocolate cake with homemade frosting, topped with chocolate curls and strawberries.  Maybe, I can see why my husband suggested having no desserts. 
 
No Bake Cheesecake
1 (8 oz) cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream
1 cup Heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 prepared graham cracker crust

Chill bowl and beater in the freezer for at least 10 minutes. Whip Heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form; approx. 3-5 minutes. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Pour into prepared graham cracker crust. Chill and serve.

Graham Cracker Crust
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
¼- ½ cup butter, melted
¼ cup sugar

Mix graham cracker crumbs with butter until moistened. Add in sugar and combine. Spray a pie pan with PAM and pour in graham cracker mixture. Spread evenly over the bottom and sides of pie plate. Bake in 350 degree oven for 5-6 minutes. Let cool Completely.

This would be great with additions like Lemon, oreos or strawberries. Whatever you do, it will be delicious!


NOTE: this recipe calls for whipped cream..I used heavy whipping cream and whipped it until the consistency I liked.  If you try the can of whipped cream let me know how it turns out.

NOTE: It also calls for a graham cracker crust, which you can buy pre-made.  For this, I like the homemade version, but if that makes it easier, by all means, go for it!
