No-Bake Frosted Animal Cracker Cheesecake From Kevin Smith, POPSUGAR Food
Ingredients
2 cups frosted animal cracker cookies
6 tablespoons butter, melted
8 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups whipped cream, divided
Pink food coloring
Frosted animal cracker cookies, for garnish
Nonpareil sprinkles
Directions
Pulse 2 cups of frosted animal crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Combine crumbs with melted butter and press into the bottom of a springform pan. Place in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
In a bowl, combine cream cheese and mascarpone cheese and mix until well combined. Add the sweetened condensed milk and continue mixing on high for about a minute, scraping down the sides as needed. There should be a smooth consistency, with as few lumps as possible. Add the vanilla and lemon juice and mix again.
Add 2 cups of whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture. Using low to medium speed, mix in the whipped cream until just incorporated.
Remove the crust from the freezer and fill the springform pan with the cream cheese mixture, making sure to smoothing everything out. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Add pink food coloring to 1 cup of whipped cream and fold in gently until reaching the desired color. Refrigerate until set.
Remove cheesecake from the refrigerator and spread the pink whipped cream over the top. Then gently remove the sides of the springform pan.
Pipe remaining whipped cream in circles along the edge of the cheesecake and top each peak with an animal cracker. Garnish with nonpareils. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
