The first is that your ingredients are not cold enough. When a no-bake cheesecake recipe calls for heavy cream, it's relying on you being able whip up the cream. This will make the cheesecake firm in texture. However, heavy cream won't whip up well unless it's cold.

The egg yolk's emulsifiers, lipoproteins, and lecithin, contribute to the cheesecake's creamy, silky texture. Almost every cheesecake recipe calls either gelatin or beaten eggs, which are used as a setting or thickening agents.

Confectioners' Sugar: A smidge of confectioners' sugar thickens the filling, while also keeping it light. I tested with flour and cornstarch and both left a chalky aftertaste.

Prebake your crust: Many recipes don't require you do this, but I guarantee you're going to have a crisper, lovelier crust if you do. With any kind of crumb crust (like graham cracker, for instance) you'll just want to give it a quick 10 minute bake in the oven before filling it with your cream cheese filling.
