THE BEST NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• For the crust: Add the graham crackers, brown sugar and salt to a food processor and pulse to fine crumbs. Drizzle in the butter and pulse until the crumbs are completely coated with the butter.
• Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan, with a 1/4-inch thick rim around the border. (Use the bottom of a measuring cup to help make the crust even on the sides and bottom.) Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
• For the filling: Meanwhile, whip 3/4 cup of the cream in a medium bowl with a whisk until stiff, fluffy peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes (or 1 to 2 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed); set aside.
• Beat the cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the lemon juice, sour cream and vanilla-bean paste and beat until just combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream-cheese mixture with a large rubber spatula.
• Pour the batter into the springform pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Cover tightly and refrigerate until set, 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Just before serving, add the remaining 3/4 cup cream and 1/4 cup granulated sugar to a medium bowl and whip to soft peaks with a whisk, 3 to 4 minutes (or 1 to 2 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed). Spoon the whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
• Run a knife around the inside edge of the springform pan to loosen the cake, then open the clasps to release the pan ring. Pipe dollops of whipped cream around the border of the cheesecake and top with fresh berries.

INDIVIDUAL NO-BAKE STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKES

Steps:

• Coarsely chop 6 berries and place in food processor. Add cream cheese, sour cream, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and process until smooth. Using a rubber spatula, fill pie tins. Garnish cheesecakes with slices of remaining berries.

NO-BAKE CAKE POPS

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, pulse 12 rolls until a fine consistency.
• Make the frosting: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese with a mixer for 2 minutes, or until creamy. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until combined. Then, add the grated coconut to the frosting. Lastly, add in the salt, coconut extract and almond extract.
• Mix the pulsed rolls and frosting together until combined. (You may have to blend 2 to 3 extra rolls and add them in to get your desired consistency.) Roll the mixture into small balls and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Melt the white chocolate chips, then stir in some food coloring if you want. Dip cake pop sticks in the white chocolate and insert a stick into each cake ball. Freeze for 20 minutes, or until hardened. Remelt the white chocolate and fully dip the cake pops. Return to the freezer until set, about 20 minutes.
