No-bake and baked cheese cake recipes are two of the main types of cheesecake. A no-bake cheese cake is a quick and easy cheesecake version that can be whipped up in a bowl and put into a graham cracker crust. It is then refrigerated to allow the ingredients to set up. The texture is a light and fluffy mouse like cheesecake filling. A baked cheesecake has a rich, thick and dense texture that can only be achieved by baking slowly in a low oven. Eggs are required in the ingredients which act as a binder and helps achieve the thick filling texture.
