Cheesecake revolution: A creamy delight straight from the pot

Cheesecake from a pot, also known as cooked cheesecake, is a delightful alternative to classic no-bake cheesecakes. A creamy mixture of curd cheese and pudding, fruit jelly, and a digestive biscuit base is a combination no sweet tooth can resist.

Cooked cheesecake is an exceptionally delicate and creamy dessert that does not require baking. However, it does not resemble classic no-bake cheesecakes. Its velvety texture and intense flavour are thanks to the combination of curd cheese, eggs, sugar, and other ingredients that, when cooked, create a uniform mass that somewhat resembles cheese pudding. This cake is perfect for birthday parties, family gatherings, or visits with friends.

If you are worried about sinking cheesecakes and undercooked centres, this recipe certainly deserves a permanent spot in your dessert repertoire. You can prepare the entire dish in a pot without baking. Instead of a crumbly crust, digestive biscuits work well here. It’s simple and tasty. You can prepare this no-bake cheesecake quickly, but plan it for the day before your event, as it needs to chill well.

If you don't like jelly on cheesecakes, you can replace it with chocolate or caramel glaze. I recommend sprinkling the whole thing with chopped nuts as well. Heavenly!

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of curd cheese from a bucket,
• 200 g of butter,
• 100 g of sugar,
• vanilla extract,
• 5 eggs,
• 2 sugar-free vanilla puddings,
• 150 ml of milk,
• 300 g of digestive biscuits,
• 2 strawberry jellies,
• 500 ml of hot water,
• frozen fruits.

Preparation:

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan, adding vanilla extract.
2. When it is melted, add sugar and mix.
3. Then add curd cheese and eggs, and mix thoroughly, heating the mixture. The mass should be uniform and smooth.
4. Add the pudding powders to the milk, mix, and pour into the pot.
5. Cook the mixture until it thickens. Remember to stir so nothing burns.
6. Line the bottom of a baking tray with parchment paper and arrange a layer of digestive biscuits. Spread half of the cheese mixture and cover with digestive biscuits.
7. Spread the rest of the cheese mixture and a third layer of digestive biscuits—place in the refrigerator.
8. Dissolve the jellies in hot water and add frozen fruits.
9. When the jelly starts to thicken, pour it over the cheesecake.
10. Chill until the jelly sets, preferably overnight.

Delicious cooked cheesecake is ready. Enjoy!
