How Do I Store No Bake Cheesecake Bars

Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.

Can You Freeze Cheesecake Bars?

Yes, you can freeze these no-bake cheesecake bars. To do so, Make sure the cheesecake has fully set up (minimum of 4 hours in the fridge.) Then you can wrap the bars in plastic wrap and store in an air-tight container. (I like my Food Saver for this.) For best results, eat within 3 months.

Can I Use A Lower Fat Cream Cheese For The No-Bake Cheesecake Bars?

Yes, you can use low-fat cream cheese, but I do not recommend fat-free as the flavor is just not the same.

Can I Use Cookies For The Crust?

You can definitely use crushed cookies for the crust instead of graham crackers. Oreos, vanilla wafers, ginger snaps. Whatever you like.

Can I Sub Cool Whip For The Heavy Whipping Cream?

Yes, you can. There is no issue subbing the cool whip for whipped cream. The whipped cream does provide a bit more richness, but using cool whip will save time. Use whatever you prefer.

Can I use Sugar-Free Ingredients to make this low carb?

Yes, you can 100% make this a low carb dessert by subbing the real sugar with your favorite cup for cup sugar substitute. You can also use almond, pecan or walnut meal for the crust.
