No Bake Layered Cheesecake
I love to make No Bake Cheesecake because it is the easiest cake to handle when you don’t have the time or energy to bake a traditional cake for Christmas. You can make this No Bake Cheesecake within an hour or even less and store it in the fridge 2-3 days in advance.
Base Ingredients:
120g Biscuit crumbs (Marie or chocolate biscuits)
30g Ground hazelnut
130g Melted butter
Grease a 9″ round spring-form cake tin.
Mix biscuit crumbs and ground hazelnut together, add in melted butter.
Use hand to mix biscuit crumbs mixture and form it to a dough.
Press biscuits crumbs mixture at the base of the cake tin. Put cake tin in fridge for later use.
Cheese filling:
375g Cream cheese (room temperature)
80g Icing sugar (sifted)
2 1/2 tbsp Lemon juice
Lemon zest from one lemon
1 tbsp Chocolate paste
7 pcs Gelatin leaf
400g Fresh topping cream
Method:
- Whip up fresh topping cream till peak form (not too stiff) and put in fridge for later use.
- Soak gelatin leaf in cold water till soft (about 30 seconds) , lightly squeeze excess water and then transfer to a double boiler.
- In another mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, lemon zest and icing sugar till thick and smooth.
- Slowly add dissolved gelatin to cream cheese followed by lemon juice, mix well.
- Use hand whisk to mix the fresh whipped cream into the cream cheese, mix well.
- Divide cream cheese mixture into two portions (Ratio 6:4 = plain : chocolate). Add chocolate paste into another portion, mix well.
- Pour some of the plain cream cheese to the biscuit tin, spread evenly followed by half of the chocolate cream cheese.
- Then add plain cream cheese – remaining chocolate cream cheese – lastly plain cream cheese on top. (total 5 layers – plain-choc-plain-choc-plain)
- Using a pastry scraper to smooth the cheesecake surface evenly.
- Store cheese cake in refrigerator for at least 4 hours and decorate as desire.
- For using cake stencil ~ sprinkle snow powder over the cake then gently place cake stencil on top and sprinkle cocoa powder on the cake stencil with a sift ~ gently remove the cake stencil and you’ll get the pretty design on your cake.
Enjoy!

Hi Ann,
when u say fresh topping cream, can u advise any particular brand and where u get it. Can any whipped do the job ?Btw, what is the purpose to add fresh top cream? Izit to stiffen the cheese and it will will not soften so quickly….sorry, i m abit blur sotong but love to try this out.

Hi KYM,
I usually used Phoon Huat's fresh topping cream. You can use Pour n Whip too that is available at the supermarkets.
Yes adding the fresh top with gelatine will make the cheesecake tasted more like a mousse cake.
@Anonymous
You can divide the 375g into 6 x 4 = 250g
for the base use 100g biscuit crumbs with about 80g melted butter

Hi, Happy New Year! Your No Bake Layered Cheesecake looks very nice. I have 250g of cream cheese sitting in the fridge for quite sometime. Since my niece birthday is this coming sunday, I would like to make her this no bake layered cheesecake. As we are a small family, could you please share with me the recipe for 250g cream cheese that fit into a 7" round spring-form cake tin. Many thanks, Monica.
Just beautiful!

Amazingly beautiful cheese cake, so very festive! Happy Holidays!
Ann, I love to make non bake cheesecake too :). Your cheesecake looks so pretty and yummy, especially like the stencil.
One of the loveliest, most festive cakes for the season. I do love the ease – in this season I always love the ease. The stencilling is perfect – and the sentiment has me smiling a Christmas smile.
Again, you make me drool with this lovely cheese cake! Itโs so tempting!
Yay! At least I can tell you I "bake' a cake before! Similarly a cheesecake- the no-bake version! ๐
This is such a beautiful cake! Love the decorating!
Such a beautiful and Christmassy cake! Would love to try this as it sounds quick and easy. Have to go get one of those spring-form cake tins.

I love your stencils and the beautiful presentation – your photos always look both delicious and beautiful! (And this is so Christmas-festive :))

That is one gorgeous christmas cake!! Love the stenciling and the cake looks delicious! After a slight disaster baking Jess's Swiss Roll Bombe yesterday, the thought of "no bake" is music to my ears.
