No-Bake Cheesecake has never been so easy and tasteful!!! A silky smooth cream filling surrounded by a buttery crust made from oats and walnuts. Strawberry season started already, so the best topping right now is a jam made with fresh puree and chopped strawberries.
For this recipe I have chosen to make a simple homemade jam with season fruit, but if you are on a hurry you can use a desired store-bought jam.
In the cream filling I added 150 gr. powdered sugar, because I like that level of sweetness. If you desire a sweeter or less sweeter cheesecake, you can add or reduce 50 gr. of powdered sugar.
Ingredients (10-12 Servings)
For Crust
150 gr. Oats Flour
100 gr. Walnuts
80 gr. melted Butter
1 tbsp. Honey
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
For Cream Filling
600 gr. Cream Cheese (cold)
200 gr. Whipped Cream (cold)
150 gr. Powdered Sugar
1 tbsp. Lemon Juice
1 Lemon, only Zest
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
For Strawberry Jam
600 gr. Strawberries
100 gr. Granulated Sugar
Garniture
Mint Leaves
Method
For Crust
In a food processor add oats flour or oats (depends what you have on hand) and walnuts and beat until finely ground. Add melted butter and beat to incorporate.
Transfer mixture to a 25 cm springform pan and press with your hands to spread it evenly and make it compact.
Refrigerate until you prepare the cream filling.
For Cream Filling
In a mixer add cream cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and beat with the whisker until homogenized.
Add whipped cream and beat until mixture becomes light and fluffy.
Remove crust from the refrigerator and spread the cream filling over it. Smooth surface using a spoon or a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
For Strawberry Jam
Wash and drain strawberries. Remove stems and divide strawberries to 400 and 200 grams.
Cut the 200 gr. of strawberries into small pieces and set aside.
Add 400 gr. strawberries in a food processor and beat until puree. Place puree in a small saucepan, add granulated sugar and cook for 15-20 minutes on medium heat, while stirring contineously. In case it foams, remove foam with spoon.
When ready, remove from heat, add fresh chopped strawberries (200 gr.) and mix. Let it cool and store in a jar.
To serve
Remove springform pan, cut a slice of cheesecake and serve on a plate.
Top with strawberry jam and mint leaves.
Enjoy!!
Tips
Add strawberry jam right before you serve it, otherwise the cream filling will become red.
You can refrigerate it and cut it with a warm knife, if you desire beautiful pieces. Then let it come to a room temperature before you eat it.
