Ingredients for the Perfect No-Bake Creamy Dessert

This dessert requires only a few simple, everyday ingredients, but when combined, they create something truly special.

Basic Ingredients:

200g (7 oz) cream cheese or mascarpone (at room temperature)
200ml (¾ cup) heavy cream (cold)
3 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Crust or Layers (Optional):

½ cup crushed cookies or biscuits (graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or Oreo crumbs)
2 tablespoons melted butter (if making a crust)

For Toppings (Optional):

Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder
Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
Caramel or chocolate sauce
Chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Creamy Filling

In a bowl, beat the cold heavy cream using an electric mixer or whisk until it forms soft peaks. This will create a light and airy texture.
In another bowl, mix the cream cheese (or mascarpone) with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix—you want to keep the air in the mixture to maintain a light texture.

Step 2: Prepare the Base (Optional)

If you want a crust, mix crushed cookies with melted butter and press them into the bottom of serving glasses or a dish.
Let it firm up in the fridge for a few minutes while you prepare the layers.

Step 3: Assemble the Dessert

Spoon or pipe the creamy filling into individual serving glasses or on top of the cookie base.
Smooth the tops with a spoon and add your favorite toppings—chocolate shavings, fruit, caramel drizzle, or nuts.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

If you like it extra cold, chill for 15-30 minutes before serving.
Or enjoy immediately for a soft, mousse-like texture!
