How to make Rolo Caramel Cheesecake

Making this Rolo Caramel Cheesecake is very easy. Start by combining graham cracker crumbs and butter, then press the mixture into a springform pan and let it set it in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, whisk cream cheese, vanilla, powdered sugar and caramel until smooth. Then whisk in heavy cream until thick and add the chopped Rolos. Now it's time to assemble: start by spreading the filling over graham cracker crust, then put it back in the refrigerator and let it set. Finally, make whipped cream and pipe it around the edges of the cheesecake, then drizzle caramel and top with Rolos.

Tips for No-Bake Rolo Caramel Cheesecake

– The quickest way to make a no-bake Rolo cheesecake is to use a handheld mixer or stand mixer. However, if you don't have one, you can whisk by hand instead.

– If possible, let your no-bake cheesecake set overnight. If it hasn't set by the time you take it out of the fridge, chill it a bit longer.

– Using a piping bag when decorating your cheesecake means you can add professional-looking touches to the dessert. To make this cake even more amazing, top it with plenty of Rolos and a few dashes of sprinkles.

– Don't use warm caramel when you're decorating the cake. Room temperature or cold is best.

How to Store Rolo Caramel Cheesecake

To keep your cheesecake fresh, cover it and leave it in the fridge. Be sure to eat it within 5 days.

Can You Freeze Rolo Caramel Cheesecake?

You can freeze your Rolo caramel cheesecake, but one thing to be wary of is the fact the Rolos will get quite hard. However, if you find your cheesecake isn't setting in the fridge, a little time in the freezer will firm it right up. When you freeze this cheesecake, it takes on the same texture as an ice cream cake – delicious! If you decide to freeze your Rolo caramel cheesecake, leave off the decorations until it's time to serve.
