No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake
Strawberry season has started so it’s the best time for a cheesecake! This one is super easy to preapare because it’s a no-bake cheesecake and the strawberries are also in the cream cheese filling! So, if you have a lot of strawberries you have no idea what to use for, try this recipe and enjoy!
Baked vs. No-bake
Both methods are delicious but if you want a smooth structure, it’s better to use some gelatin and make a no-bake cake. Also, when you’re using some fresh fruit, it’s better to keep it fresh, because then it'll loose its natural flavor and color.
Should I use a cake pan or a cake ring?
Id depends if you’re making a baked or a non-baked cheesecake, because a cake pan is better for the baked one. But in this recipe try to use a cake ring. It’ll be easier for you to manipulate with the cake, so you’ll get a better shape.
What cookies are best for this cheesecake?
This time I used some butter cookies but you can use anything you like. For example some cookies with chocolate, nuts or fruit. It’s also possible to mix them with chopped almonds or hazelnuts!
Can I use different fruit?
Yes! When you have some blueberries, apricots, raspberries, etc…, you can use all of it. It only depends what you like. Just be careful while using some sour fruit - you’ll probably need to use more sugar.
