No-Bake Raspberry Cheesecake
No-Bake Raspberry Cheesecake is hands down one of the easiest desserts I’ve made in awhile! This recipe is extremely airy, velvety, creamy and then paired with a slightly tart raspberry sauce to balance it right out. Perfection!
Answering all those No-Bake Cheesecake Questions
How do I stop my cheesecake base from crumbling? Make your own crumb! I personally always make my own crumb, a finer crumb will set more firmly than a bigger crumb. I usually just add a packet of graham crackers/digestives to a blender and blitz until I get the texture I want.
Do I need to bake the base of a no-bake cheesecake? No! Well not with this recipe you don’t. Unless you need to make a crumb from scratch there is no need to bake the base of a no-bake cheesecake. I usually bake the base of a baked cheesecake as it helps the filling set in the middle.
Can I make a cheesecake without electric mixer? YES! You can just use a good old mixing spoon and hand help whisk. Having an handheld electric whisk will help but again you do not need one.
How long does it take for a no-bake cheesecake to set in the refrigerator? Usually 6 hours or overnight will give you the best structure for serving up. This No-Bake Raspberry Cheesecake recipe only needs 3 hours! I’m not super patient.
Tips for the perfect No-Bake Raspberry Cheesecake
Stick to the ingredient quantities and instructions if you want a airy, velvety and strong cheesecake filling.
This recipe calls for frozen raspberries as the fresh ones don’t last long at my place! But if using fresh berries you need to increase the water to 1/2 cup and the cooking times for the sauce may vary.
Add the lemon juice, it makes the filling taste fresh and helps cut the fat and sugar.
No-bake cheesecake needs to be kept chilled, whipped cream (or any dairy) should not be brought up to room temperature and then refrigerated. Will last 2 - 3 days in the fridge maximum.
Enjoy!
