Cold cheesecake, very easy to make at home and super tasty. You can give your personal touch to this Cheesecake No Oven adapting the cookies to use and you can even add some chopped dried fruit to get a crunchy touch. Another option is to change the finish, which can be as much strawberries, raspberries, cherries or red fruits as apricot, peach or crushed mango.

We can make this cheesecake more festive if we crown it with fresh fruit, in harmony with the fruit that we have used to finish the cake (raspberries, cut strawberries…) or opt for a simplified option. The possibilities are endless!

For get a good result, it is important that there are no lumps in either the cream cheese or the strawberry layer. This can be avoided by passing the cheese through a strainer or fine mesh, just like the jam, which we could also crush beforehand.

In our case, we have used a 20 cm round mold, but if you do not have this measurement, you can use a 23 or 26 cm one. Just keep in mind that the cake will come out shorter, although just as delicious!

How to make cold cheesecake without an oven

We hydrate 5 sheets of gelatin in a container (for the cream cheese) and 1 sheet in another container (for the strawberry layer) with cold water for at least 10 minutes.

Hydrating the gelatin sheetssonia mas

Line the mold with waxed paper, both the base and the sides. For the sides, you can use acetate, as we have done, since it detaches better when demoulding, although it is not essential.

Lined mold to prepare the cold cheesecakesonia mas

Crush 150 g of cookies with the food processor or by putting them in a bag and rolling them over.

Crushed biscuits for the basesonia mas

Mix the biscuits with 75 g of butter at room temperature. If we use the food processor to chop the cookies, we can add the butter once the cookies are crushed.

Cookie mix for the basesonia mas

We distribute the mixture in the lined mold and flatten with the base of a glass, so that the biscuit base is well pressed. We reserve the mold in the fridge while we prepare the rest of the recipe.

Preparing the cookie basesonia mas

Pour 400 g of whipping cream into a bowl together with 75 g of sugar, mix well, bring to a boil and cook for about 3 minutes over high heat, stirring with the whisk. Add the gelatin for the cream cheese, drained and mix well to integrate. Let it rest for 15 minutes so that it is not so hot when adding this mixture to the cheese.
