Strawberry cheesecake without baking

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 6 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make no-bake strawberry cheesecake at home? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Choose strawberries that are sweet and aromatic. Take cream with a fat content of at least 33%; it must be well cooled. Soak 18 grams of gelatin (for filling) in 100 ml of cold water and leave for an hour. You will learn all the subtleties of whipping cream and working with gelatin by reading articles on these topics. You will find the links at the end of this recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Take 10 grams of gelatin (for jelly) and pour 250 ml of strawberry juice. It is better to use natural strawberry juice, it will be tastier and more aromatic. Also leave for an hour.

3. STEP 3

   

   How to make a strawberry cheesecake base without cottage cheese? Grind the shortbread cookies in any way convenient for you. I did it the fastest way - in a blender. You should get a homogeneous granular mass. Transfer it to a bowl.

4. STEP 4

   

   Melt the butter in a water bath or in the microwave. Cool the butter to room temperature and add it to the cookie crumbs.

5. STEP 5

   

   Mix everything until smooth. You should get wet crumbs.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the resulting mass in a springform pan (I have a mold with a diameter of 21 cm, you can take a mold with a larger diameter, but then the cheesecake will turn out lower) and compact well. Pre-grease the pan with vegetable oil, this will make the cheesecake easier to remove.

7. STEP 7

   

   Whip the chilled cream with sugar until stiff peaks form. In order for the cream to whip well, it must have a fat content of at least 33%, and it must also be well cooled. Pour the cream into a deep bowl and start whipping it with a mixer, gradually adding sugar, beat gently, without creating splashes, for 4-5 minutes, but do not overdo it, otherwise you will get butter.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add curd cheese to the cream, mix gently and thoroughly with a spatula to maintain the fluffiness of the cream.

9. STEP 9

   

   Wash the strawberries. It is better to wash it with the tails, otherwise (if you tear off the tails first) it will absorb water and become watery and tasteless. Dry the berries with paper towels and tear off the stems. Leave the most beautiful berries to decorate the surface of the cheesecake - about 250 g, cut the remaining strawberries into small pieces. I cut the largest one in half and placed it along the rim of the mold, as in the photo. But this is optional.

10. STEP 10

    

    Heat the swollen gelatin until the gelatin dissolves, but do not boil, cool, then add to the creamy curd mass, mix thoroughly with a whisk or at low speed with a mixer.

11. STEP 11

    

    Then add chopped strawberries. Stir gently so that the strawberry pieces are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

12. STEP 12

    

    Transfer the mixture into the mold and smooth it out. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes. This is necessary so that the strawberries do not drown in the mass when you lay them on the surface.

13. STEP 13

    

    Cut the reserved strawberries into thin slices and place on top.

14. STEP 14

    

    Heat the strawberry juice with gelatin until the gelatin dissolves, do not boil, just heat. Cool and carefully pour some of the juice with gelatin over the strawberries with a spoon. Place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes so that the berries set and do not float. Then remove the mold from the freezer and pour the rest of the future jelly on top and refrigerate for at least five hours, or preferably overnight.

15. STEP 15

    

    After the specified time has passed, remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator. To easily remove it from the mold, you need to warm its edges with a hairdryer. That's all, the delicious strawberry cheesecake is ready, bon appetit!

Wonderful cheesecake recipe. I changed it a little to suit my taste. I add a couple of drops of milk to the sand base to make it a little softer. And instead of strawberry juice I take pomegranate juice. It is more transparent, the color is more saturated and I like the taste better. Thank you very much to the author for such a clear step-by-step recipe. Everything worked out the first time, now my husband has a favorite dessert

I did everything according to the recipe, only I took 50g less cookies and mascarpone cheese and left it in the refrigerator overnight. As a result, the base remained crumbly (crumbles), the second layer did not harden at all
