Kitchen essentials for tasty no bake recipes:

When you head into the kitchen to make some of these great recipes you’ll want to have the best tools on hand.

Of course mixing bowls, a mixer, spatula, and some whisks should be on your list if you don’t have ones that you love. I also like to have a set of cooling racks so that my recipes can properly cool before they’re scarfed down by my family!

I like these casserole dishes from Pyrex which are great for no bake recipes and for all your favorite dinners, brownies, cakes, and more.

You can’t go wrong with some good sharp knives and a cutting board. They will always come in handy in the kitchen for recipes of any kind, even desserts!

How to make cheesecake in a jar:

This is a great recipe that is easy to make. It is perfect for anyone who might have little ones at home that want to help making cheesecake too!

These cotton candy cheesecakes are a no bake recipe so there’s no need to worry about the oven or stovetop, no chopping either so there’s no stress about sharp knives and little fingers!

In a large bowl, beat heavy cream with an electric mixer until it starts to thicken; slowly add in 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar. 

Continue to mix until thickened and stiff peaks form. 

Add in the cream cheese and beat until smooth. 

Continue mixing and add in the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar, vanilla, milk, and cotton candy flavoring. Beat until well combined.

Add mixture to piping bag (if desired, but it makes adding the filling to the glass/container easier and neater) 

Begin layering with the cookie crumbs in small tumbler glasses or 8-ounce mason jars. 

Continue layering with the cheesecake mousse, a layer of cotton candy. 

Repeat, depending on the size of your container. 

Top with the cheesecake mousse and a few cookie crumbs and a bit of cotton candy.
