No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake Recipe

This no-bake lemon cheesecake by El Mundo Eats is one of the best cake recipes I have ever made at home. It’s zesty, lemony, and creamy. Each bite is heavenly and smooth! I bet everyone will immediately take a slice once it’s ready.

Instructions:

Step 1:

Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor. If you don’t have one at home, you can put them in a zip lock bag and crush them using a rolling pin.

Step 2:

Transfer the crumbs into a bowl, then add 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter. Mix until it’s well incorporated.

Step 3:

Put the crumb mixture into an 8-inch springform pan. Press it to the bottom using the base of a glass. Once done, place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

Step 4:

Add 14 oz of full-fat cream cheese into a bowl. Whisk it for a few minutes until it becomes fluffy. Next, add 2 tablespoons of lemon zest, 1/3 cup of lemon juice, and 14-oz of condensed milk. Mix everything until well combined, then set it aside.

Step 5:

In a small bowl, combine 1 1/2 teaspoons of gelatin powder and 1 tablespoon of water. Let it soak for about 5 minutes, then heat in the microwave until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Use max power with 15 seconds intervals. Once done, add around 2 tablespoons of cream cheese mixture. Mix well to combine.

Step 6:

Add the gelatin mixture to the previously prepared cream cheese mixture. Immediately mix everything to combine, then pour it into the prepared crust. Spread it evenly. Shake it a little bit to remove air bubbles. Chill in the fridge until it fully sets for a minimum of overnight.

Step 7:

Once it sets, run a knife or offset spatula around the cheesecake, then carefully remove the springform. Run the spatula all around the edges to get a smooth finish.

Step 8:

Spread 1/2 cup of lemon curd on top and add whipped cream on top.
