It’s cheesecake season! We all know that Shavuot just isn’t complete without a cheesecake. But I have to ask — why can’t the signature Shavuot dish be something easier?! How about brownies, cupcakes or even a trifle? Why does THE dessert of Shavuot have to be a dessert that involves a water bath, a stand mixer, a food processor and easily cracks if you don’t follow the recipe just right (or even sometimes if you do)?

I like to bake (and I bake a lot), but I typically stick to more foolproof recipes like cakes and cookies. I vote that we change the iconic dessert of Shavuot to brownies. And we can even add in dairy chocolate chips and a cream cheese frosting to stick with the dairy theme. Now who’s with me?

In the meantime, I’ll be making a much simpler cheesecake — a no-bake funfetti cheesecake. No water bath or oven required. This recipe makes a totally delicious and mouth-watering cheesecake in half the time, half the number of bowls and way less than half the stress.

It comes together so easily! You make the crust, combine the cream cheese mixture, add Cool Whip and sprinkles, and you’re done! In 20 minutes, you can throw together a cheesecake that all your Shavuot guests will adore. And as an added bonus, it looks completely adorable. Everybody will fall in love with the colorful sprinkles. This is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser.
