How To Make A Non-bake Cheesecake...

Cheesecake is a very delicious desert that is rich and creamy. This desert only consists of a few ingredients and you don't need an oven to bake it. It is a little time consuming, although very simple and can be made by anyone.

The ingredients you will need are:

250g of any semi-sweet biscuits 

150g of unsalted butter (at room temperature)

3 sheets of gelatin 

¼ cup hot water

500g of cream cheese 

½ a lemon

⅔ cups of sugar

2 tsp of vanilla extract 

250g of thick cream (wiped)

Step 1: Prepare a 20cm round (base) spring form pan with parchment paper for easy removal. 

Step 2: Grab the biscuits and crush them into crumb-sized pieces, using a food processor or by hand. Mix in the unsalted butter. Consistency should resemble wet sand. Place mixture into pan, spread evenly on the bottom to form the base of the cheesecake. Refrigerate for 10 minutes, or until firm.

Step 3: Combine the gelatin sheets and the water and melt over a double boiler. Stir until melted and liquefied. Set aside to cool slightly. 

Step 4: Combine the cream cheese and the sugar and mix well with an electric whisk, or with a normal whisk by hand. Once smooth and creamy, add the zest of half a lemon, as well as the juice. Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 5: Whip the cream and stir into the cream cheese mixture. Add the gelatin and mix until fully incorporated. Once combined place on top of the biscuit base and spread evenly.

Step 6: Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until firm. Finally, decorate with some fresh strawberries or the fruit of your choice and serve.
