what does it mean when it says whipped cream cheese?
Whipped cream cheese can be found in the fridge section in the supermarket.
Is there any other cheese I could use? cant find this in Israel! Maybe regular cream cheese?
You can use regular cream cheese, let is soften, and whip it until it becomes whipped cream cheese.
Thank you!
amazing flavor and fun to assemble thank you
can you make this pareve can you use pareve cream cheese and pareve milk?
I’m sure you can! Let us know how it comes out when you try it 🙂
Can u use regular cream cheese?
Yes!
This turned out to be a fun, quick, and delicious pre- shavuos project for my 5 year old son and 8 year old daughter! Thank you for sharing!
Didnt like this at all. It basically tasted like vanilla pudding.
Amazing. I made this around a week before shavuos and then froze it in a bag. I took the cheesecake out of the freezer around 2 days before Shavuos, and I added a crust, topping, etc a few hours before serving. The leftovers lasted around a few weeks in the fridge.
It gets points for being ridiculously easy to make and the texture was nice but as far as taste goes, it just tastes like vanilla pudding. I won’t be making this again.
I made these in canolies and they were AMAZING!! please be aware when buying the pudding that you buy INSTANT pudding. by mistake I bought regular powdered pudding and it was just not thickening I put it in the fridge overnight and it still would not thicken so I read the recipe again, watched the video again and then finally reading the posts where I saw a reply to a post that you must use instant vanilla and that saved the day!! BH!!
can this be made in advance?thanx
Yes, I would keep it in the fridge.
I made it for my mishloach manos, it was really easy but not very sweet so added vanilla sugar. I guess adjust to your liking.
DON’T FILL THE PIPING BAG ALL THE WAY LIKE I DID…..!!!!
Looks great and delicious!!!
Came out great. Super easy.
Made it in one pan, not in small private dishes, and the slices came out nice and firm.
Soupy mess I used my only package of chalav yisrael cream chease and wasted it on this but it ddnt thicken:(
this may be because you didnt use instant pudding mix if you use pudding mix that says instant it should work
Make sure you’re using instant pudding mix regular cooked pudding that you put on the stove will not work for a no bake recipe
Thank you, came out really yummy and so easy!! 😉
