No-Bake Cheesecake Recipes Please

[Tinsel]

Hi There

Just looking for a simple no-bake cheesecake. I found one in Nigella's book but I would love to hear from you if you have an excellent recipe.

I have posted a vegan cookies and cream "cheese"cake recipe in Vegetarian Chatter #2. It's no-bake. I made the recipe up on one of those killer Brissie days where you can't even look at the oven, let alone turn it on Being vegan, it's also a lot lower in fat than your average cheesecake. But that's the best I can do.

ooooh, thank you Audax. I did a search in here but didn't get any hits so will go and find yours now.

Thanks

My mum used to make an awesome one with philly will try to find it for you.

I have a couple I will try and find.

Otherwise you can find some on the inside of the Philly cheese cartons.....

Good tip Sara. Never thought to look there!

I have a simple one that is a great base for many flavours. Very popular

Biscuit base of your choice. I often use crushed Marie biscuits with shredded coconut and butter to bind, but works really nicely with chocolate ripple biscuits if you want a choc or coffee or even berry flavoured cheesecake

Crush biscuits, add coconut if desired and enough melted butter to just dampen the biscuit mix, mix into a dough-like substance (doesn't matter if a little crumbly) then flatten into your cheesecake dish/pan/whatever you have or wish to call it. Chill

250gm Philly at room temp
1/2 cup of sugar (a little less works fine)

Mix to a smooth consistency. Add 1/2 cup of flavouring (fresh squeezed lemon juice is awesome, as is melted dark or white chocolate, coffee, pureed berries, possibilities are endless). Beat for a few minutes. The longer you beat, the smoother it will taste.

In another bowl whip a small punnet of cream until stiff, then fold into the cheese mix.

Add a tablespoon of gelatine to enough boiling water to dissolve, then mix through cheese mix and pour on top of base. Refrigerate.

You can top it according to what is in it. Lemon cheesecake goes well with a tin of passionfruit pulp mixed with dissolved gelatine so that it forms a jellyish skin on top. The flavours compliment each other well, and the jelly is easy to peel off if anyone doesn't like passionfruit. Grated choc on top is good for choc, coffee and berry ones, as is berry coulis

Enjoy! Not for the vegans (and prolly not even vegetarians thanks to the gelatine, but you might be able to find a veg alternative - seaweed based, I think)

No bake mini cheesecakes:

375g cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup castor sugar
2 tsp vanilla essence
3 tsp gelatine (follow directions on packet)
3 violet crumble bars, crushed (or other chocolate cars you like)
300 ml cream whipped
1 packet choc ripple biscuits

Method:

Mix softened cream cheese & sugar with electric mixer until creamy. Add vanilla essence & mix

Melt gelatine (according to packet) and mix through the cream cheese mixture. Add crushed violet crumble bars & fold through the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture

Spoon mixture into clingwrap lined 12 x 1/2 cup muffin tray and top with choc ripple biscuit, making sure to press firmly onto the cheesecake mix

Cover with clingwrap andchill until firm (approx 12 hours or more)

To serve, remove from muffin tin, remove cling wrap & turn cheesecakes upside down so the biscuit is on the bottom

They are really yummy

oh my gosh, these all look divine and will need to give them a try. Violet crumble yummmm. I never thought to use ripple biscuits so will give these a try as well. Lemon cheesecake is a favourite and will be trying this one out for sure.

Thanks ladies!

I make the Toblerone cheesecake from the Kraft (I think) website. It is sooo yum! There's also a cookies and cream cheesecake slice, i think it might be on the same site.
