I almost considered calling this cheesecake “My Favorite Cheesecake!!! Seriously, THE Best Cheesecake I Had in a Long Time” Right…I know, it’s super silly. And it may even seem as if I’m exaggerating. But truly, this No-Bake Limoncello Cheesecake is THE best cheesecake for me!
Please don’t tell my mom I’m saying this! She is the cheesecake QUEEN and that is why I never make a cheesecake. She takes her time.
She actually takes a few days to create her pièce de résistance. She gets requests for her cheesecake for holiday parties and birthday parties alike.
Quite frankly, I’m not sure why she’s not selling them!

So you see, the pressure is on when I think of baking a cheesecake, because it has to be as good as hers or I may as well not even attempt one! The truth is, my family is totally satisfied when I make this no-bake version. My husband declared it, “So light and really good!”. My son told me I make the best cheesecakes ever, as he was digging into the pan with a spoon!! Yikes! You know what that means, it’s time to make anther one!
I did make my own graham cracker crust and placed it in freezer for 30 mintues (just to firm it all up). When the filling is ready, remove crust from freezer, spoon in the filling and place in fridge to cool down and set for a few hours.
You could go ahead and use a ready-made crust…but really, why would you? It’s SO easy to make your own crust and trust me, the flavor blows away the ready-made kind. I use olive-oil in my recipe to make it a little healthier. If you prefer butter, go ahead and use that instead! I recommend letting this chill for at least an hour before slicing. A warning: it will be very hard to wait that long! If you don’t wait that long, it will be almost like pudding texture when you slice. If you do not have limoncello available, you could substitute fresh lemon juice.

you can use a bowl and wooden spoon to mix the olive oil in, with the
sugar added. ) - Press
this mixture into a 8-inch springform pan (or pie plate); press a
little up the sides to form a slight ridge. Press firmly to ensure the crust is even. Transfer to the freezer for 30 minutes. - Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and limoncello (or lemon juice) in a bowl until smooth; set aside.
