Cheesecake with a creamy filling and Butter Biscuit Crust. Say Hello to your new favorite Classic cheesecake recipe.
Cheesecake. One of the best desserts in the world. Sorry chocolate chip cookies but you’ll never be the same as a slice of cheesecake.
Now there may be some people who may disagree, but we love our dairy and cheesecake is literally one of the best things you could possibly put in front of us.
Tips to Making a Fab Cheesecake
In order for the cheesecake to set properly you have to make sure you properly whip it together.
You have to whip the cream until it reaches stiff peaks. Then can you bring the ingredients together and spoon on top of the prepared biscuit crust.
(see image below for reference of what the filling should look like.)
Digestive Biscuit Crust
This cheesecake crust seriously cannot get any easier. You simply choose your digestives and blitz in the food processor.
If don’t own a food processor you can always manually crush the biscuits with your hands or by placing in a plastic-free bag and smashing with a rolling pin. The crumb won’t be as fine as it would be with a food processor but it’ll still taste delicious and at is all that matters.
Cheesecakes are one of the easier desserts to make if you have gluten-free company. All you will have to do is swap the biscuits for a gluten-free alternative. There are plenty of options in the free-from section. Hobnobs has a gluten-free biscuit as well has Tesco if you need help finding it. Everything else is gluten-free in the cheesecake!
Cheesecake Recipe with No Eggs. Why do some cheesecakes call for eggs and others do not?
In order for this cheesecake to be truly no-bake you’ve got to make this without eggs.
It seems to be a personal preference when it comes to eggs or not eggs. Over in the United States with New York Cheesecake for example, eggs in their cheesecake is guaranteed and it is also heavier on the cream cheese.
Using eggs actually changes the consistency quite a bit. Cheesecakes with eggs are firmer whereas our traditional vanilla cheesecake here is smooth and silky. We’ll share an egg-version cheesecake recipe later on so you can try it out for yourself.
We personally love anything with cheesecake so we are not bias at all. Just give me a slice of cheesecake for breakfast guys.
