I have the confidence to describe this recipe as “perfect”. Because this is simply the best, one of the most wonderful cheesecakes I have ever had, and have ever made. It has to be, as i got this recipe from India’s most loved chef, Sanjeev Kapoor’s website.

Aside from being the best cheesecake recipe from the taste point of view, i just simply luv the fact that this cheesecake doesn’t require baking unlike the traditional ones. So this dessert is super easy to make and super duper good to eat. 🙂

Notes:

✔ Do not substitute the fresh cream with whipping cream. I used thick cream.
✔ Do not pour very hot gelatin into the mixture. Let it cool a little bit.
✔ I crushed the biscuits in mortar and pestle.
✔ You can either use a springform pan or a tart tin.

Try out this one too guys! One of my very good friend, Sadiya Gafoor shared this recipe with me. It tastes great.

No Bake Cheesecake

Ingredients:
2 packets Philadelphia cream cheese
I sachet Dream Whip + cold milk to whip
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 or 11/2 cup icing sugar ( depending on your sweet tooth)

For bottom:
3Tbsp butter
3Tbsp powdered sugar
About 8 digestive biscuits (depends on size of pan)

For the base, process the biscuits and sugar. Then just melt butter in microwave and to that dump the sugar and biscuits and mix.
Press down this layer in bottom of your pan. Leave this in the fridge so set for atleast 15 minutes before u add the cheese layer.
For the cheese layer, first make whipped cream an keep aside (leave it in fridge). Take the cream cheese and beat till creamy. Add icing sugar then vanilla essence. Then add whipped cream and gently fold in
Once biscuit layer is set add the cheese layer on top and put back in fridge to set.
Use strawberry pulp/ crush For topping. A thin layer of jelly on top is also good, that will also hold in this recipe.

  1. I love this cake of yours. I have 6 packets of cream cheese in my fridge right now and I’m certainly going to treat myself to this wonderful creation. Thanks for sharing. I have bookmarked it! Wish you a pleasant weekend!

  2. What is the difference between fresh cream and whipping cream and where do I get this fresh cream? Please let me know. I’m a bit confused!!!

    1. Hmmm fresh cream is thicker than whipping cream. Just search for thick cream in the supermarket refrigerator section. Breakfast cream will also do. Hope this helped.

      1. I will try and search then give you a feedback. Thanks for responding. I don’t know if I have ever seen breakfast cream?? anyway will let you know what I find!

  3. Helo sadia…jus loving all ur recepies…i wanted to know in ur recepie if v can use strawberry jelly on top instead f grating white choclate ? without any change in the other ingredients?

    1. Hii Sidla! Thank you soo much for the kind words. 🙂

      Yeah go ahead! You can add whatever topping you like. Jelly would be great. Just make sure you don’t add hot jelly on top.
