This recipe for No-Bake Boston Cream Pie Cheesecake is a spring-inspired dessert that all of your guests will be drooling over.
I love Boston Cream Pie; the chocolate topping and cream filling is a lethal combination to my diet, but worth every bite. I really wanted to make the pie for some friends I was taking dinner to, but I just didn’t have time. However, I did have time for a no-bake cheesecake. No-bake cheesecakes are my to go-to dessert because I love that I can make it within a matter of 10 to 15 minutes and then sit back while it chills in the fridge. Simple and delicious, no-bake cheesecakes are always a crowd-pleaser.
So that’s when I was inspired to come up with this awesome No-Bake Boston Cream Pie Cheesecake! And it came out just as delicious as I had envisioned.
Instead of doing the traditional graham cracker crust, I went with some vanilla sandwich cookies.
Boston Cream Pie Cheesecake is one of the most amazing desserts I’ve ever had right here in Denver. While this recipe version of no-bake cheesecake isn’t as decadent, that’s exactly what I love most about it. It’s creamy, yet not overly heavy. Some would argue the cookie sandwich crust is the best part.
An additional benefit of this no bake version of the Boston Cream Pie Cheesecake is that it feeds a crowd. Using a 9×13 pan, you can serve this as 12 slices or 24 – or two if you’re my husband.
If you are taking this No-Bake Boston Cream Pie Cheesecake to a party, make sure to grab a tin foil pan and take it in that. That way, you can leave whenever you want, and the dessert can still stay, assuming it lasts more than 10 minutes.

What size of pudding?!
We use 3.4 ounce boxes of pudding. I’ll update the post to clear this up, thank you!
Could I make this dessert an day before?
Yes!
if I want to substitute with whipped cream, for the whipped topping, how much should I make?
You’ll need about 3 cups of whipped cream. I hope you enjoy it!
I’d have liked if the total time was corrected. then I could figure out the times for the recipe. Prep time: 20 minutes? Total time 20 minutes? Recipe says to put the cream cheese mixture in crust & make topping. Then later it says to put the topping on the chilled pie. However, it never said to chill the pie, let alone how long it should sit in the fridge to let it chill. I haven’t tasted it yet because my pie has only been chilling for half an hour. So I have not put the topping on yet & therefore it has definitely not sat for another 3 or 4 hours while the topping sets.
That is prep time, so glad you mentioned this, I will fix it. Thank you, Tala.
