It’s an easy no-bake recipe

David’s grandma had this recipe in her cookbook for a no-bake cheesecake that we wanted to put a spin on for fall. When we first started dating, one of the first desserts we made together was cheesecake with caramel sauce and then topped with nuts. So we’re sharing our latest creation that brings both of these worlds together, and we think it’ll be one that you can enjoy with your family as well as with coworkers, neighbors and friends.

While we used a springform pan for this presentation, if you’re not serving immediately, we recommend using a 9” x 13” baking pan for this recipe. It will help keep the cheesecake together for a few days in the refrigerator. Also feel free to cut back on the confectioners sugar to moderate sweetness.

8 oz container Cool Whip

Caramel sauce, at room temperature
