Easy No Bake Lemon Cheesecake
For you my friends that have had a challenging year and have lost loved ones, my heart goes out to you. I hope this year allows you to heal and find peace again. I wish I could do more for everyone and take away the insanity that’s happening in the world right now. Although I didn’t feel so stressed last year I suddenly feel the anxiety too. If you ever feel alone and you need a shoulder you can always send me a message. These are crazy times and I know we can all do with a little support without any judgement. Without being a pessimist I think this year is going to have it’s share of challenges too. However, we have to find a way to rise above those challenges. This year let us make choices wisely. Let us choose what makes us happy and lights up our soul. Life is far too short so don’t be weighed down by what doesn’t serve you. Now for this Delicious Easy No Bake Lemon Cheesecake. This is one choice you won’t regret. I promise if it’s cheesecake it never goes to waste in our home.
No Bake Lemon Cheesecake
I stopped myself from making a whole No Bake cheesecake before because it never sets quite as well as I wanted it to. Although this one doesn’t set as well as one with gelatine I think the Agar Agar does help. This is a cheesecake I have been making for years and although it never set well my family still devoured it. But I also wanted to make it look pretty so I had to find a way to make it work. It has a few ingredients and the Agar and Agar can be found in most baking stores. Here in SA Dis-Chem also has stock of it. However, you are ok with using Gelatine you can substitute the Agar Agar with that.
How to make this Easy No Bake Lemon Cheesecake
It is so quick and easy to make this cheesecake. I use a pack of Bakers Tennis Biscuits for the base so there is no baking involved at all. For those that are strictly vegetarian you can use an eggless biscuit or cookies for the base. You have to use cream cheese that is at room temperature. If your cream cheese it not soft enough you will end up with a lumpy filling. Full fat cream cheese works best for this cheesecake as it allows it to set better but medium fat works well too. The base can be processed in a food processor. Then it’s just about mixing the filling and adding it to the base. It’s then refrigerated overnight and you have a cheesecake. I think because I make so many lemon stuff these days my tastebuds is more acquired to the taste. I find myself using a lot more lemon that I have in the past. If you can’t handle too much lemon feel free to adjust it accordingly.
Easy No Bake Lemon Cheesecake Recipe
As always my recipes are pretty easy. This cheesecake can be made by anyone. Nothing complicated about this Cheesecake so you don’t need much skills. You can get some filling onto the sides of the springform pan. That way even if your filling is not completely set it still stays intact. However, I don’t always do this. In fact I think it does help with the prettiness but I prefer biscuit just on the base. Although you can allow this cheesecake to set for about 5 hours, I prefer to wait a little longer. It’s why I say overnight, it just gives it a better chance to set well. This is by no means a firm cheesecake like my Baked Cheesecake but it is also not as soft as my Cheesecake Trifle. Let’s just say it’s somewhere in between.
