Non-bake Delicious Cheesecake
-
No fanciful kitchen equipments? No Fret. This is an easy-to-do non-bake Cheesecake that requires no electrical mixer or oven. Best of all, no baking experience needed!
I was inspired by my wonderful friend J, who brought a Strawberry Cheesecake to my recent BBQ party & I decided to make one to celebrate my students’ graduation. Except for few similar comments from 2 other girlfriends - Strawberry Cheesecake base too hard, cheese too little & gelatine too thick; the cake was lovely especially the presentation. My girlfriends said they’ve tried better ones & would pass me the recipes but I waited in vain for more than a week. Patience soon ran out & I decided to create my own based on my previous Choc Crumbles Party Recipe & keeping in mind the above comments.
The result: The Peachy Lemon Cheesecake was better than expected & my students love it! I'd made 2 trays for my class of 15, wishing them Success in their Career. It was indeed an effort worthwhile.
As it was my 1st attempt, I chose an economical fruit which is peach. As can peaches are too sweet, I decided to add lemon & zest to the cake to balance the taste & to add fragrant. It was a perfect combination. Only setback, I couldn’t serve the cakes straight from the refrigerator.
I took the cake out & left my home around 6pm that day as my class started @ 6.30pm; waited till our 8pm break before serving them. My heart was pounding as I was afraid the jelly could not hold due to our hot climate. Thankfully, it was ok except that it would be much nicer if eaten chilled.
Ingredients for 1 tray:
(Base)
200g McVities digestive biscuits
100g Butter
(Filling)
2 blocks of Cream cheese (about 250g each)
2 pcs of Peach halves
½ Lemon
½ Lemon zest (grated)
1 tbsp Gelatin powder
50ml Water
1 tsp Vanilla essence
1 box Jelly crystal (Lemon)
200ml hot water
200ml cold water
(Toppings)
3 pcs of Peach halves
Gummies for decoration
Method:- I chose to use McVities Digestive Biscuits because they're the most popular band of cookies in the UK. For a non-messy job, put biscuits into a Zipblock or any plastic holder. Seal it & pound biscuits into crumbs using eg. a rolling pin.
- Mix crumbs with butter (ensure butter is soft for easy mix).
- I've experimented with lining 2 trays with different material for easy removal. One with foil & another, with greaseproof paper. The verdict: It's so much easier to lift with foil as the latter couldn't take the weight & also stick to the cake. After lining the tray, transfer the crumbs mixture onto a 12" rectangular tray & press firmly using the base of a spoon. Refrigerate for about an hour.
- Mix gelatin with water & dissolve under slow fire. Set aside to cool.
- Cut peaches into cubes & set aside. Cut lemon into half & use a slicer to remove skin & grate it.
- Whisk cheese, vanilla essence, zest & lemon juice & blend in gelatine. Add peaches & mix gently.
- Spoon cheese mixture onto tray. Top up with remaining peaches & chill for about 2hrs.
- Dissolve jelly crystal in hot water, then add cold water. Ensure jelly is cool before pouring onto cheese mixture. Continue to refrigerate for another 3hrs.
- Using a spatula, gently loosen the cake at the sides. Remove from tray by lifting the foil & you'll get your nice cake.
- Cut & put individual pieces into cake holders. Add gummies to decorate & serve chilled.

Eh, i also got do.non-bake cheescake.but for sure you need to re adjust the ingredient and do it to your taste.
btw, for the base, do add brown sugar so that it can hold even better compared to butter.

Brainerror, nice to have u sharing! No worries about the base for this recipe, it held on well. Maybe it's gotta do with the pressing part :)
