No Bake Lemon Cheesecake Pie
Lemon Cheesecake Pie is a no bake dessert that is so creamy and bursting with fresh lemon flavor! Lemon pudding, cream cheese, and Cool Whip inside a crumb crust.
Ingredients
- 1 (6 oz) ready-to-use Nilla Wafer or Graham Cracker crust
- 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) lemon instant pudding mix
- 2 cups half & half
- 1 bar (8 oz) cream cheese (softened)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tub (8 oz) cool whip
- fresh lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Directions
- 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the dry pudding mix and half & half milk. Whisk together for 1-2 minutes. Let sit for a few minutes so the pudding can get nice and thick. Once thickened, spread 1 1/2 cups of the pudding into the pie crust. Set aside the remaining pudding.

In a separate mixing bowl, using a handheld blender, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until it's creamy and combined. Using a spatula, fold the cool whip in and mix until combined. Add half of the mixture into the remaining pudding mix. Spread into the pie crust to form the 2nd layer.

Spread the remaining cool whip/cream cheese mixture on top of the pie, or use a piping tip and bag to pipe it on as wanted.

It's best to let the pie refrigerate overnight OR at least for 6-8 hours so that it can firm up, come together, and get nice & cold.
