Ginger Cookie Crusted No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake

Ginger Cookie Crusted No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake

Ginger Cookie Crusted No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake is as simple as it is fabulous. No fuss with baking and worrying about the top cracking. The crust is super easy with using Nairn’s ginger stem cookies and butter. It pairs gorgeously with the creamy dreamy lemon filling. Nairn’s is a brand that I trust and enjoy. They offer two great oat crackers and three delicious cookies to choose from here in Canada. Come down to the bottom of the post to enter our giveaway for lots of Nairn’s products and a cute Pippa bag!

Nairn’s products are made with whole grain oats that slowly release energy, making them a healthier alternative for the whole family. I feel good in offering these to my family. 

This is honestly one of the simpliest desserts I have ever made but it sure doesn’t look like it. It would be a luscious offering for the Easter table either at a brunch or a dinner.  

Nairn’s biscuits are a household treasure here. My favorite are the stem ginger oat biscuits that I used today for the crust. A couple of ginger stem biscuits and a cup of tea is a cherished treat that can be had at anytime. They only have 44 calories each but are bursting with flavor. The biscuits are wholesome and tasty made with whole grain oats. They also contain 40% less sugar than the average biscuit. 

Amber’s favorite are the Dark Chocolate Chip Oat Biscuits. I like that they are individually wrapped into packages of 5 biscuits. Perfect for a lunch box. 

The third biscuit that is available in Canada is Mixed Berries Oat Cookies. These cookies also have the same great benefits and are full of cranberries and bursting with raspberry flavor too. 

Making a crust from Nairns’ ginger stem cookies was so easy and added in so much flavor to this scrumptious dessert. The cookie crust also stood up well to slicing and serving and made a pretty edge to this delightful cake. 

Because of the simplicity I am not sure I will bake a cheesecake again. This no-bake recipe sure fits the bill for ease for me. It is a recipe that all your friends and family will love.
