Well... I know Philadelphia Cream Cheese is safe to eat in pregnancy, and I believe the majority of cheesecakes are made with that. I know I also put Ricotta in mine sometimes, which is also safe.

The issue, I would think, would be more with the egg. It is not suggested that pregnant women consume raw eggs, as there can be issues with pasteurization. So I believe with a raw, or unbaked cheesecake, the issue is more likely to be the egg.

I don't think that helps you much though... Sorry.

im just trying to think, i dont know a cheesecake recipe that uses an egg that is unbaked.... i will google it later. are the eggs normally used just in the baked recipes?

oh i googled. most no bakes dont have egg but there are some that do. i would say as long as you make sure the egg is pasturised though its fine, or if its a shop bought one just check the packet to make sure there are no eggs in it
