A no-bake cheesecake, the recipe I am about to present to you is a tried-and-true way to satisfy your sweet tooth in the summer. It tastes delicious, melts in your mouth, and its preparation is a breeze, which even the most inexperienced cook can handle. I know because I’ve tested it!

Regarding simple and quick recipes, the no-bake cheesecake can be considered a true champion in this category. Cream cheese, gelatin, and water — these three ingredients are enough to create it. Does this mean that the dessert we are discussing today is bland? Not at all. This playful twist on cheesecake has surprised many a sceptic. The same goes for my household.

If you are looking for a recipe that will become a hit within the walls of your home this summer, I highly recommend following the recipe below. The preparation is simple and takes only a few minutes. Of course, some patience is needed afterwards, as the no-bake cheesecake needs to be chilled in the fridge. It’s worth it, and then you can enjoy watching your family savour this sweet dessert. Special note for parents: kids love it too, so if you were looking for an alternative to homemade ice cream, you’ve found it. Good luck!

Preparation:

  1. Dissolve two packs of gelatin (I used one orange and one strawberry) separately, each in 350 millilitres of boiling water. Then, pour the gelatin into a mould and set it aside to cool.
  2. Dissolve the remaining gelatin packs (unflavoured) together in slightly smaller hot water; I used roughly 470 millilitres.
  3. Beat the cream cheese at a medium speed and gradually add the still-liquid unflavoured gelatin.
  4. Take out the orange and strawberry gelatin and cut them into smaller pieces. Then, add them to the cream cheese mixture. Mix and pour everything into a mould. Smooth the surface and put it in the fridge.
  5. After a few hours, take it out, and it’s ready.
