Ingredients

For the Easy Raspberry Cheesecake (No Bake), you will need:

• 250g digestive biscuits (or any preferred Halal-compliant cookie)
• 100g unsalted butter, melted
• 400g cream cheese
• 100g powdered sugar
• 200ml heavy cream
• 200g raspberries (plus more for garnish)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Gelatin (optional, for firmness)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Base: Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and rolling over them with a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix with the melted butter until well combined.
2. Form the Crust: Press the biscuit and butter mixture into the base of a 20cm springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to pack it tightly. Put the crust in the fridge to set while you prepare the filling.
3. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Add in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and mix until the mixture thickens slightly.
4. Incorporate Raspberries: Gently fold in the raspberries with a spatula, being careful not to smash them. If you prefer a smoother filling, you can purée half of the raspberries and then fold them in.
5. Gelatin (Optional): If you’re using gelatin for added firmness, dissolve it according to package instructions, letting it cool slightly before mixing it into the cheesecake filling.
6. Combine Crust and Filling: Pour the raspberry filling into the chilled crust, smoothing it out with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
7. Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Before serving, top with additional raspberries and whipped cream, and then slice and enjoy!

Top Tips for Perfecting Easy Raspberry Cheesecake (No Bake)

• Substitutions: If you prefer a chocolate flavor, swap out part of the biscuits for chocolate cookies. For a vegan option, consider using coconut cream instead of heavy cream and dairy-free cream cheese.
• Timing: Let your cheesecake chill for as long as possible to allow the flavors to meld beautifully and achieve the perfect texture.
• Common Mistakes: Avoid over-mixing the filling, which can incorporate too much air, making your cheesecake less dense. Also, ensure the butter is sufficiently mixed with the biscuit crumbs for a firm crust.

Storing and Reheating Tips

To store your Easy Raspberry Cheesecake (No Bake), keep it in the refrigerator. It’s best consumed within 3-4 days for optimal freshness, but it can last up to a week. You can also freeze leftovers for longer storage, but note that the texture may change slightly upon thawing.
