No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake
Description
This No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake is the ultimate crowd-pleaser for those who love a refreshing, citrusy finish to a meal. It balances the rich, velvety texture of softened cream cheese and chilled whipped cream with the bright "zing" of freshly squeezed lemon juice and aromatic zest. A subtle hint of vanilla bean paste rounds out the tartness, while a buttery graham cracker and almond flour crust provides a satisfying crunch.
Ingredients:
Instructions
-
Start off, by bringing the cream cheese to room temperature to soften it. (Stand at room temperature for 1-hour or cut into chunks and microwave on high for 30 seconds.)
-
Also, soften the butter, or partially melt it. Do not let it become oily by heating.
-
Soak the gelatin in 1/4 cup room temperature water (in a small microwave-safe bowl), till it looks completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). This is the 'blooming' process.
-
Once bloomed, microwave the gelatin mixture for 30 seconds (or lower the cup containing the gelatin solution in a saucepan of boiling water for 30 seconds.) Allow to cool off.
-
Add the crushed graham cracker crumbs and almond flour(if using) to a bowl. Pour in the melted butter, and combine well.
-
Press this into the base of a 20cm/8" springform/loose base pan.
-
Either place in the fridge to set for a short while OR Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes, for a crisper crust.
-
Lightly beat the chilled cream and set it aside.
-
Next, beat the softened Cream Cheese with Sugar till nice and smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl a few times.
-
Add in the gelatin mixture and beat till combined well.
-
Next, add the whipped cream, lemon juice, and rind as well as Vanilla bean paste and either fold in or beat briefly.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared base and refrigerate. Cover tightly and chill for 4 hours or best overnight.
-
Decorate, with berries, lemon curd or simply as I have done, with lemon wedges and fresh, slightly sweetened whipped cream!
