Notes
Only use full-fat cream and cream cheese for the proper consistency for this recipe. No-bake cheesecakes still have a slight wobble, as they don't have anything in them to make them set like a baked cheesecake. Store in the fridge for a max of 4 days. Can be frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
