Important Baking (No-Bake) Tip: Room Temperature is Key!

For any cheesecake, especially a no-bake variety, achieving that perfectly smooth, lump-free texture is paramount. This brings us to a crucial tip that cannot be overstated: **always ensure your butter and cream cheese are adequately softened to room temperature before you begin.**

Attempting to mix cold butter and cream cheese will lead to a lumpy, uneven frosting and filling, no matter how long you beat it. Cold dairy products won’t incorporate properly with the other ingredients, resulting in a less-than-ideal consistency. So, plan ahead! Take these key ingredients out of the refrigerator a few hours before you intend to start baking. They should be soft enough to yield easily when pressed, but not melted. This simple step is vital for a silky, rich, and perfectly blended cheesecake batter and a smooth, pipeable frosting that will make your bubblegum cheesecake truly magnificent.

Ingredients

  

FOR THE CRUST:

  • 2 cups of Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 2 Tablespoons of Sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons of Butter – melted

FOR THE FILLING:

  • 4 Packages of Cream Cheese – 8 ounces each – softened
  • 1 cup of Powdered Sugar
  • 1/3 cup of Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of Vanilla
  • 1/3 cup of Heavy Cream
  • Neon Pink Food Coloring Gel
  • 1 cup of Gumballs

FOR THE TOP – TO DECORATE:

  • 4 Tablespoons of Butter
  • 4 ounces of Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Vanilla
  • 2 Tablespoons of Heavy Cream
  • 4 Cups of Powdered Sugar
  • Neon Pink Food Coloring Gel
  • Gumballs to decorate the top

COOKS TOOLS NEEDED:

  • Stand Mixer
  • Pastry bag
  • Whipped Cream tip – for piping frosting – See link
  • Spatula’s
  • 7 inch Spring-form pan
  • Parchment paper
  • 1 package of Gumballs

Instructions

  • To prepare your springform pan, first, carefully line the bottom of a 7-inch springform pan with parchment paper. This step is crucial for easy removal of your finished cheesecake and ensures a clean base.
  • Next, prepare the graham cracker crust. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter and resemble wet sand.
  • Evenly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a firm, smooth, and compact base.
  • Place the pan with the crust into the freezer for at least 15-20 minutes while you prepare the filling. This will help the crust set firmly.
  • For the cheesecake filling, place the softened cream cheese in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar. Begin mixing on low speed until all the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
  • Add the vanilla extract and continue to mix until it’s fully incorporated and the batter is creamy and cohesive.
  • Periodically stop the mixer and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are fully blended and the mixture is perfectly smooth and creamy.
  • Now for the signature bubblegum color! Add several drops of neon pink food coloring gel to the cheesecake batter. Start with a few drops and mix to blend.
  • Continue adding more pink food coloring gel, a drop or two at a time, until your desired vibrant pink color is achieved. Remember, you can always add more, but you can’t take it away!
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl once more to ensure that all the cheesecake batter is uniformly bright pink and no streaks of plain batter remain.
  • Gently fold in the gumballs using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as you want the gumballs to be evenly distributed but not crushed.
  • Pour the pink gumball-studded cheesecake filling over the chilled graham cracker crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Place the pan back in the freezer to set completely. For the best results and a firm, sliceable cheesecake, chill overnight.

TO DECORATE: Make the Frosting:

  • To create the frosting for decoration, add the softened butter and softened cream cheese to the mixing bowl of your stand mixer, using the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is incredibly creamy, light, and fluffy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  • Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream to the creamed butter and cream cheese mixture. Mix again on low speed until just combined.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, blending on low speed to prevent a cloud of sugar. Scrape down the bowl as needed to ensure everything is thoroughly incorporated. Continue until all the powdered sugar is added and the frosting is completely mixed, smooth, and holds its shape. Then, add a few drops of neon pink food coloring gel, blending until you achieve a bright, uniform pink color for your frosting.
  • Prepare for piping by tearing off a piece of plastic wrap (about 10 inches wide). Carefully spoon the prepared pink frosting lengthwise down the middle of the plastic wrap, forming a long, ribbon-like log.
  • Roll the plastic wrap tightly around the frosting, making sure it maintains its long, ribbon-like shape. Twist one end of the plastic wrap to seal it securely.

  • Snip off the untwisted end of the plastic wrap, creating an opening for the frosting to come out.
  • Insert the plastic-wrapped frosting log into a pastry bag fitted with your desired whipped cream tip (a star tip works wonderfully for fluffy dollops).
  • Carefully pipe the frosting onto the edges of the chilled cheesecake. Use a swirling, back-and-forth motion, gradually building up fluffy dollops that come to a gentle point. You can create a continuous border or individual swirls.
  • Don’t be afraid to go over areas a few times, layering the frosting to achieve that desired fluffy, voluminous look. Practice makes perfect! Finish by decorating the top with additional gumballs for an extra pop of color and fun.
  • Once decorated, place the cheesecake back in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to an hour to allow the frosting to set before serving.
  • When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the freezer and carefully release the springform pan. Using a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between cuts, slice the cheesecake into 2-inch pieces.
  • Serve immediately, or keep chilled until serving time. Enjoy this delightful and whimsical Bubblegum Cheesecake!
