How do you keep a no-bake cheesecake firm?
To keep the no bake cheesecake and pumpkin pudding pie or tart firm, try this. It is important to mix you pudding mix until firm,(this is for this pumpkin pie recipe)Chill in the fridge until set before adding the whipped cream cheese mix. This is for layered cakes. Once the one is firm whip up the cream cheese one and layer, chill in fridge again overnight or for up to at least 8 hrs. A good chill is what is needed.
Can I use mascarpone instead of cream cheese for cheesecake?
Yes you can use mascarpone cheese instead of cream cheese. Maybe needing some lemon juice for that cream cheese tang. For this recipe we mixed cool whip with the cream cheese.
What temperature should the ingredients be at?
All your ingredients should be brought to room temperature before mixing. This makes it easier for people who are not professionals to mix the mixture well. Using cold ingredients can be done if you know how and when to know the cream cheese is creamed enough. If using cold cream cheese then it will be more lumpy when not mixed properly. So for an easy fool proof no bake cream cheese pie or tart use room temperature ingredients.

How To
Set aside 2 ready made graham cracker pie crusts. See the recipe for how to make the cracker crust.
Combine pudding mix and milk in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth then refrigerate until set.
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 ½ cups Cool Whip until smooth.
Divide the cream cheese and cool whip mixture between both pies and spread evenly over the bottoms of the crusts.
Once your pudding mix is set, spread over the cream cheese mixture dividing evenly between the two pies.
Spread the remaining cool whip over the top of both pies.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 -6 hours but I recommend 8 or more and even overnight. Before serving, sprinkle some pumpkin spice on top.
This recipe may be made ahead of time as it suits the recipe to stand overnight for the pudding and the cream cheese to set well when chilled. The layers will be sturdy and not mix together.
When serving take out of the fridge and slice for dessert after a meal or for tea time.
The topping can have some pumpkin spice sprinkled on top or cinnamon. Serving cold is best.
