No Bake Cheesecake

Share this post with your friends!

No Bake Cheesecake is my absolute go to dessert when I am craving something sweet. There’s just something about the contrast between the creamy, cheesy topping and the crunchy biscuit base.

I also love how versatile cheesecakes can be, I love adding peanuts to the base to give it an extra crunch and the toppings you can add to a cheesecake that’s been set are unlimited.

If I’m feeling like a fresh, light cheesecake, I like to add sliced fruit such as strawberries, or if I’m feeling a little bit naughty, I’ll coat it with lashings of chocolate sauce.

This particular cheesecake recipe that I’m sharing with you today has been handed down to me by my Mum who taught me how to make it when I was a girl. The fabulous thing about this cheesecake is there is no need to bake it and there’s no need to add any sugar, making it a healthier alternative to those that comes with lashings of brown sugar. Without the added sugar, I have no qualms about sharing this delicious dessert with my toddler who has developed a real sweet tooth over these past few months!

I have been experimenting with my toppings this week and was asked to try some Fabbri products which are available from the Ciao Gusto Italian Deli at Ocado.

The Ciao Gusto range incorporates all fo your favourite Italian brand sunder one tab on the Ocado website or app. With family favourites such as Cirio, Filippo Berio and Giovanni Rana, it also features some new to the UK market brands such as Valsoia dairy free ice cream and Auricchio cheeses.

So, when you decide to make the no bake cheesecake below, make sure you add a few bits from the Fabbri range to your Ocado basket for a deliciously sweet cheesecake that packs plenty of punch.
