It's not as easy as one of those "no-bake" cheesecakes, but it's nearly as simple, and it tastes a whole lot better. It's even easier if you use a springform pan, which makes it a snap to remove the cheesecake from the pan. Just undo the spring or clamp to remove the pan's sides and remove the separate bottom piece.
