Description

Indulge in a luscious no-bake cheesecake that redefines simple pleasures. This delightful dessert boasts a creamy, airy texture that melts in your mouth, delivering a symphony of sweet and subtly tangy notes. Crafted without eggs or gluten, this fuss-free cheesecake comes together in under 30 minutes using just a handful of ingredients.

A truly satisfying treat that proves that indulgence and simplicity can coexist beautifully. The foundation of this cheesecake is a delicately crumbly crust, made from crushed crispbreads and rich butter. The crispbreads are finely ground and then combined with melted butter, creating a mixture that is pressed firmly into the base of a springform pan.

Chilling this base in the freezer ensures it sets into a perfect, slightly firm platform for the creamy filling. For a twist, consider using your favorite low-carb cookies in place of the crispbreads. Coconut oil or ghee can be used as a butter substitute.

The heart of the cheesecake lies in its unique jelled mixture, featuring gelatin, which lends stability and a beautifully thickened consistency to the filling. Without it, the cheesecake would be too soft and unable to hold its shape. The jelly powder infuses the cheesecake with the ideal amount of sweetness and contains lemon flavoring, which provides its distinctive citrusy and tangy zest.

Feel free to experiment with other fruit-flavored jelly mixes, such as lime, cherry, or strawberry, to create different flavor profiles. To maintain its freshness and delectable texture, cover the cheesecake with a large bowl or store it in a cake container. Properly stored in the refrigerator, this no-bake cheesecake remains fresh and enjoyable for up to five days, making it a perfect make-ahead dessert for any occasion.

Instructions

    1.
    Place the biscuits in a food processor and pulse until fine. Transfer to a bowl. Melt the butter and add it to the biscuits.
    2.
    Mix until fully incorporated. Transfer to a 20cm/8-inch springform pan, and press downward. Transfer the pan to the freezer while you prepare the other elements.
    3.
    Add 1 cup of heavy cream to a bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat until it's whipped. Set the bowl aside.
    4.
    To another bowl, add the cream cheese. Whisk it until it softens. Add it to the whipped cream and mix until incorporated.
    5.
    Place cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Once it comes to a simmer, add the jello and whisk. Keep whisking until the powder dissolves.
    6.
    Take the saucepan off the heat and pour it into the cream cheese bowl with one hand while whisking with the other. Keep whisking until no lumps remain, and all steam has escaped. You can pass the mixture through a fine sieve if you want a silky smooth cheesecake.
    7.
    Take the springform pan out of the freezer and place it on the counter. Pour the lemon cheesecake over the crust and spread using a spatula. Transfer to the fridge to set for 6-12 hours.
    8.
    Cut the cheesecake into 8 slices. Garnish with lemon slices or fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve cold.
