Aside from the fact that one is baked and one is not, no-bake cheesecake generally does not have eggs. We, of course, don't want to eat uncooked eggs, so if the cheesecake is not baked, it can't contain egg. Baked cheesecakes also tend to be denser cheesecakes, which I like for this recipe because it really allows us to jam-pack this cheesecake with avocado!
