Cheesecake
Description
A rich, creamy, and decadent no-bake style easy cheesecake featuring a buttery biscuit crust, a smooth cream cheese filling set with gelatin, and topped with a glossy, sweet berry compote.
Ingredients
For Berries Topping:
Instructions
-
Crush the biscuits finely using a rolling pin or food processor, then mix thoroughly with melted butter.
-
Press the buttered biscuit mixture firmly and evenly into the base of a springform pan using a flat glass or spatula, then chill in the refrigerator or freezer to set.
-
In a large bowl, beat the room-temperature cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy without any lumps.
-
Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, vanilla essence, and lemon juice to the cream cheese, beating until well incorporated.
-
Dissolve the unflavored gelatin in warm milk or water, let it cool slightly, mix a spoonful of the cream cheese batter into it to temper, then fold it smoothly into the main cream cheese mixture.
-
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the chilled fresh cream until double in volume, then gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese batter until smooth and uniform.
-
Pour the prepared cheesecake batter over the chilled biscuit crust, smooth the top with a spatula, and refrigerate (or set overnight) until fully firm.
-
Prepare the berry topping by simmering mixed berries with sugar and a splash of water until a thick compote forms; optionally stir in a little dissolved gelatin if a firm fruit layer is desired.
-
Allow the berry topping to cool completely to room temperature before pouring it evenly over the set cheesecake.
-
Run a thin knife carefully around the edges of the springform pan to release the cheesecake, remove the ring, slice, and serve chilled.
Note
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature and the fresh cream is ice-cold so they whip and blend smoothly without curdling.
Cool the berry compote completely to room temperature before adding it onto the set cheesecake layer to prevent melting the filling.
