FAQs About No Bake Birthday Cheesecake
Can I make this funfetti cheesecake vegan?
Yes! Just use vegan cream cheese, sour cream, butter, and whipped topping. Golden Oreos and many sprinkles are already vegan-friendly to make this vegan birthday cheesecake.
How long does it need to chill?
At least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal for the best texture.
Can I make this cheesecake with golden Oreos ahead of time?
Definitely. Make up to two days in advance and decorate right before serving. You can also make this with a classic graham cracker crust with graham cracker crumbs or make it with chocolate graham crackers.
Do I need to freeze the cheesecake?
No, it sets up perfectly in the fridge. Freezing in the freezer can make the texture slightly firmer, like a birthday cake ice cream cake.
Can I make my own whipped cream instead of using pre-made whipped cream?
Of course! Just opt using cold heavy whipping cream (or vegan heavy cream) with some powdered sugar to sweeten and whip with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer in a large bowl until you get stiff peaks. This recipe uses 3 cups of whipped cream, so you will need 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream and 1/2 to 2/3 cup powdered sugar.
