Quick no-bake cheesecake

Fluffy Cheesecake

• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature (I like Neufchatel)
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 8 oz. container whipped topping, thawed
• 1 t. vanilla
  
• 1 graham cracker pie crust (I like making one with Nilla Wafers)

1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in whipped topping. Spoon into crust. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until set.
2. Cover with any toppings you desire or eat plain.

I don't know how I haven't posted this recipe yet, since this is one of my favorite desserts. I love cheesecake that is baked, but this no-bake cheesecake is rave-worthy as well.

2. Beat cream cheese, remaining 1 cup sugar and the vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add sour cream; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over crust. Puree the blueberries in a blender or food processor. Gently drop spoonfuls of the pureed blueberries over batter; cut through batter several times with knife for marble effect.
3. Bake 45 min. or until center is almost set; cool. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.

I have made this recipe several times, and we love it. I usually half the ingredients and cook in a 11x7 pan.
