Mother's Day No-Bake Cheesecake (Print)

Creamy no-bake cheesecake on a buttery biscuit base, topped with bright raspberry coulis—chilled for clean slices.

# Ingredients:

→ Biscuit Crust

01 - 200 g digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
02 - 100 g unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheesecake Filling

03 - 400 g cream cheese, softened
04 - 200 ml double cream (heavy cream), cold
05 - 100 g powdered sugar
06 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
07 - 1 tbsp lemon juice

→ Raspberry Coulis

08 - 250 g fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
09 - 60 g granulated sugar
10 - 1 tbsp lemon juice

# Directions:

01 - Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin. Mix with melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture evenly into the base of a 20 cm (8") springform tin lined with baking parchment. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
02 - Beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice; mix until combined. In a separate bowl, whip the double cream to soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Pour the filling over the biscuit base, smoothing the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to set.
03 - In a saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down. Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Allow to cool.
04 - Remove the cheesecake from the springform tin and transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle generously with raspberry coulis and garnish with extra fresh raspberries if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You can make it ahead and look like a superstar with zero oven time.
  • The fresh raspberry coulis adds that hint of tartness, making each creamy bite sing.
02 -
  • Don't rush chilling time—the cheesecake needs those hours to fully set or it'll be too soft to slice cleanly.
  • Straining the coulis for seeds transforms it from homemade to patisserie-smooth.
03 -
  • Let your cream cheese sit out to really lose its chill before mixing—your arms and the texture will thank you.
  • Run a hot knife around the cake before releasing the tin for clean, show-stopping edges.
