Halloween dessert at it’s finest. This No Bake Zombie Brain Cheesecake will… take the cake! I used a plastic brain mold to make this no bake cheesecake extra spooky! With a little bit of green food coloring and some time chilling out, this dessert is perfect for Halloween vibes. I based this no bake cheesecake off of one that I made a while back, I just discarded the crust and formed it into a brain.

All in all this gooey green zombie brain is a great way to spook the kiddos and also get in good on the dessert! You can use cookies or sweet pita crisps to scoop up this cheesecake to enjoy. I also used some graham cracker crumbs around the dish to really get that cheesecake feel in there.

To keep this cheesecake lightened up, I used a fat free cream cheese. But to be honest, that’s really the only change I made here. I don’t particularly care for the light pie filling option, so I went with the standard one instead. But, if the light one is your jam? Go for it! You could also swap the cherry pie filling for another flavor if you really wanted!

Be sure to keep this guy stored in the fridge, covered. It’ll last no more than a couple of days even with that so nom it up while you can!
