I've received many requests to make raspberry cheesecake, which I've never made before. So, here we are, giving it a try.
I enjoyed mixing the fresh raspberry flavor into the smooth cheesecake filling, and I love how light and creamy it turns out.
Raspberry Cheesecake
After making my Raspberry Cobbler 2 days ago, I still had a lot of fresh raspberries, which I bought from the local farmer's market. That's what I used in making this delicious raspberry cheesecake.
I chose to make a no-bake raspberry cheesecake because it is easier, quicker and I don't need to worry about the cheesecake cracking or baking or using a water bath.
Yet the cheesecake turned out SUPER creamy and fruity! The perfect dessert when I want something delicious without turning on the oven.
You'll Need
Here is an overview of all the ingredients I used to make this dessert. The quantities are in the recipe card.
- Digestive biscuits
- Butter: I use melted, unsalted butter.
- Full-fat cream cheese: I use Philadelphia cream cheese.
- Granulated sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Heavy cream: Very cold.
- Raspberries: I add fresh raspberries to the cheesecake filling and topping.
- Powdered sugar: For dusting (optional)
How To Make Raspberry Cheesecake
Now, let's break down the process:
One: In the food processor, add the biscuits and blitz until crumbs; add the melted butter and blitz again until combined, and the mixture looks like wet sand.
Two: Press the mixture into the bottom of a 22cm springform until it is an even layer. Refrigerate it until the filling is made.
Three: Add the heavy cream to a mixing bowl and whisk with an electric whisk until a soft peak forms.
Four: In another bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
Five: Now, fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth, and stir in the raspberries (keep a few to decorate with).
Six: Scoop the filling onto the biscuit crumbs base and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight.
Seven: Top it with the remaining raspberries and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut the cheesecake and serve.
Expert Tips
