Easy No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Dessert
- Hey everyone, it's Natashaof NatashasKitchen.com,
and it's a good day.
We are making a no bakestrawberry cheesecake.
It's whipped, velvety,very mousse-like in texture
and intensely strawberry-ishly.
Strawberry, it has a lotof strawberry flavor.
All right, let's get started.
Oil a nine inch springform pan
and line the edges withstrips of parchment paper.
This will make it much easier
to remove the cake when it's ready.
For the crust, you will needone and three quarter cups
of graham cracker crumbs.
This comes from about 12 whole crackers.
You can crush in a food processor,
a blender, or in a Ziplocback with a rolling pin.
Add eight tablespoons ofmelted, unsalted butter
and one tablespoon of sugar.
Stir until the crumbsare evenly moistened.
Then press them into the bottom
of your prepared springform pan,
going about half an inch up the sides.
Refrigerate the crust for 30 minutes
while you work on your filling.
For the strawberry puree,
you'll need one pound of rinsed
and paper towel dried strawberries.
Remove the tops then cut them in half
and put them into a blender.
Now blend until completely smooth,
and you can also use afood processor for this.
(upbeat music)
for the smoothest cheesecake,
you'll wanna push your pureethrough a fine mesh sieve
to get rid of the seeds.
Use a spatula to get everybit of strawberry puree.
You should have about oneand a half cups of puree.
And this puree is whatgives the cheesecake
intense strawberry flavor,
so you'll wanna get every last drop.
Now in a large mixing bowl,
combine eight ounces ofsoftened cream cheese
with two-thirds cup of granulated sugar.
Beat that together on medium-highspeed for two minutes,
scraping down the bowl as needed.
It should be completely smooth.
Next add one cup of coldheavy whipping cream
and beat for three tofive minutes on high speed
or until the mixture is fluffy.
Again, scrape down the bowl
to make sure everythingis well incorporated.
Next, add 12 ounces of chilled Mascarpone
and beat on medium-low speed
until it's combined and smooth.
Now, add all of yourprepared strawberry puree
and blend until smooth.
(upbeat music)
next, add two tablespoonsof fresh lemon juice,
and blend until completely incorporated.
It feels like a lot of blending,
but remember, you're almost there
and you do not have to bake this cake.
In a small bowl, addhalf a cup of cold water
and sprinkle the top with two packets
of unflavored gelatin,
or about 14 grams of gelatin.
Now patiently wait five minutes
for the gelatin to bloomand absorb the water.
Once the gelatin has bloomed,
you'll need to microwavefor 30 to 35 seconds,
stirring about every 10 seconds
until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Now with the mixer on medium-low speed,
gradually pour in the gelatin
and beat until it's well incorporated.
Now this next part is completely optional
but if you wanted a deeper pink color,
you can blend in three to fivedrops of red food coloring.
Now pour all of your prepared filling
over your chilled crust.
(upbeat music)
And of course, you'llwanna get every last drop.
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap
and refrigerate for fourhours, or overnight.
This cake also freezes really well,
and if you want to freeze it,
cover it with severallayers of plastic wrap.
Once the cake is setand completely chilled
you can serve it as is,
or make this super easy topping.
To make whipped cream combineone cup of heavy cream,
two tablespoons of sugar,
and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Beat those together on medium-high speed
for about two minutes, oruntil whipped and fluffy.
Then transfer to a large pastry bag
fitted with an open star tip.
Unwrap your cake andrelease it from the mold,
then peel back the parchment paper strips.
Pipe large and generouspuffs of whipped cream
over the edges of your cake.
And I do love adding freshstrawberries over the top
so everyone knows thisis a strawberry cake.
Okay. (laughing)
It's time for the taste test,
I am so excited.
Because I get to do this taste test.
(laughing)
Okay, I've got my knife ready, here we go.
Big slice for me.
Nice and smooth.
And it's always a good idea
when you are slicing acake, to keep it pretty.
Use a little paper towel onthe knife with each slice.
(upbeat music)
Okay, here we go.
Come to momma.
(laughing)
It just makes all yourstrawberry dreams come true.
Look at that.
It's so thick and tall.
Yum.
I'm really happy right now.
How can a cake make you this happy?
All right, here we go.
Oh my, oh my.
(moaning)
I feel like all my strawberrydreams just came true.
This really does have a wonderfulfresh strawberry flavor.
You can taste that littlehint of lemon in there
that balances the whole thing.
And the crust is perfect
and just so easy.
Oh my goodness, this iswell worth the effort.
It definitely is one ofthose wow factor cakes.
Oh man, I have to have some more.
(moaning)
Yum, especially withfresh summer strawberries
that have so much greatsweet natural flavor.
This is packed with strawberries, so good.
We definitely have somestrawberry lovers in our house
so I'm gonna bring onanother taste tester.
