To begin making No Bake Cheesecake I dumped some dairy free cream cheese (I used Tofutti brand), icing sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl.

I used an electric hand mixer to beat these ingredients until creamy.

Then I added in one full tub of Cool Whip whipped topping (large tub).

Next I used the electric hand mixer again to beat in the Cool Whip topping until well combined.  This took 1 ½ to 2 minutes.

Then I lined the bottom of a 9" x 13" baking pan with gluten free graham crackers.

It took about 14 crackers to cover the bottom of the pan.  I broke the crackers to fit them in around the edges.

You could aslo make a graham cracker crumb base if you prefer.

Then I spooned the cream cheese mixture over top of the graham crackers in the baking pan.

I used a large rubber spatula to carefully spread the topping around, distributing it evenly.

The graham crackers will move around a bit so just spread gently.

The next step is where you can use your own creativity.  Choose any topping that you would like, whether it be pie filling or a home made topping.

I chose to use a raspberry pie filling based on the tastes of the people that would be consuming it.

Next time I may split the toppings and do half raspberry and half blueberry.  Use  your imagination!

Once the pie filling was spread evenly over the top of the No Bake Cheesecake I placed it in the fridge to chill and allow the filling to moisten the graham crackers and solidify them as a crust.  

The great thing about No Bake Cheesecake, is that you can top it off to suit your tastes or the occasion!  Use your imagination and creativity.

Serve up a piece of No Bake Cheesecake knowing that you will be consuming very little dairy.  Those that can enjoy dairy will not taste any difference.

Every mouthful of this light, decadent dessert will be savoured by your guests!
