Cheesecake recipes with and without baking:

Cheesecake is a cheese dessert (literally from English: cheese - cheese, cake - pie, cupcake), baked without dough or chilled at a low temperature and consisting of a fluffy filling. Cheesecake is a dish of predominantly American and European cuisines. It was from there that he came to us.

At home, cheese dessert is prepared exclusively from selected varieties of cream cheese, but some countries often partially or completely replace cheese with soft, fatty cottage cheese. As a result, the dessert is similar in appearance to the original and turns out no worse than a cheesecake prepared according to a traditional recipe, although the taste of such a product will be slightly different.

The base of a cottage cheesecake is usually cottage cheese, butter and crumbled biscuits. Oil and crumbs in a 1:2 ratio are mixed into a homogeneous mass, which is used to line the entire internal surface of the removable mold, including the sides. The result is a kind of “container” where we will put the cottage cheese filling.

In addition to cottage cheese, sugar, cream (sour cream), fruits, berries, raisins, vanillin, cinnamon, lemon zest, nuts, chocolate and other ingredients are added to the cheesecake filling. Then the mixture of ingredients is thoroughly beaten (to make the filling tender and fluffy), placed in a mold and baked at 160-180 C or kept in the cold. After which the delicacy is served on the table and consumed as dessert.

Curd cheesecake - food preparation

To prepare curd cheesecake, we will use any crumbly cookies, which must be crushed into fine crumbs, butter previously softened at room temperature, sugar (it is better to take fine sugar) and cottage cheese. Note that cottage cheese should not have a low fat content, otherwise the quality of the finished cheesecake will be sharply reduced. In addition, the cottage cheese should be passed through a sieve (sieve or blender) to crush all the grains.

No-bake cheesecake with cottage cheese and cookies will definitely appeal to all lovers of homemade sweets. But before you start cooking and consider the step-by-step recipe for cheesecake, which does not need to be baked, since its base will be cookies, I would like to say a few words about the dish itself. America is considered to be the birthplace of cheesecakes, although some culinary experts believe that the dish was born in Great Britain.

In some sources, in particular on Wikipedia, you can read that the birthplace of the first cheesecakes is Ancient Greece. Perhaps this is so, because even in ancient times the Greeks knew how to produce a large number of different types of cheese and prepared numerous dishes from them.

It's no secret that cheesecakes are made from cottage cheese and they come in completely different types. There are cheesecakes that are baked in the oven, just like cheesecakes, and there are also those that do not require baking. Probably the second type of cheesecake is more popular. Personally, I like no-bake cheesecakes much more, since they taste like cottage cheese mousse or soufflé, and the base of crackers, cookies or cereal makes them even more tasty and satisfying.

In the summer, you can add fresh berries and fruits to the cheesecake, which will have a beneficial effect not only on its taste, but also on its appearance, because a beautifully decorated cheesecake always looks appetizing.

Today I want to offer you a British version of cooking Cheesecake with cottage cheese and cookies according to a step-by-step recipe.

Ingredients for the cheesecake base:

  • Cookies for tea - 300 gr.,
  • Dark cocoa - 3 tbsp. spoons,
  • Walnuts - 100 gr.,
  • Sugar - 0.5 cups,
  • Butter - 100 gr.,

Ingredients for the creamy cheesecake base:

  • Cottage cheese - 400 gr.,
  • Sour cream 20% fat - 1 cup,
  • Gelatin - 25 gr.,
  • Vanillin - 1 sachet,
  • Sugar - 5 tbsp. spoons,

For the apricot confit:

  • Apricot jam - 300 ml.,
  • Gelatin - 15 g.,
  • Hot water - 100 ml.

No-bake cheesecake with cottage cheese and cookies - recipe

Let's start making no-bake cheesecake by preparing the base. Melt the butter in a water bath and wait until it cools.

Pour the cooled gelatin into the curd cheesecake base. Using a mixer or immersion blender, beat the mass again. That's it, the no-bake cheesecake base is ready.

Remove the mold from the refrigerator. Pour out the curd mixture.

Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for about 3-4 hours until the curd layer hardens and becomes dense. Prepare the confit. Boil the apricot jam. Pour hot water over gelatin. After it dissolves and the water becomes viscous, add to the jam. Stir.

Pour the prepared apricot confit over the curd cheesecake. Place in the refrigerator until this layer hardens completely.

As I wrote earlier in some recipes, you can speed up the thickening process of dishes that contain gelatin using the freezer. When preparing cheesecake using the freezer, it is important not to overfreeze it.

Serve the no-bake cheesecake with cottage cheese and cookies immediately after cooking, more precisely, after its two layers have hardened. By the way, I would also like to add that instead of apricot confit, you can prepare absolutely any other confit from various jams, confitures, preserves, or even fresh berries and fruits.

Step 1: prepare the cookie base.

First of all, the cookies need to be crushed. Go over it with a rolling pin or put it in a blender.


Mix soft butter with sugar, and then add cookie crumbs to this mixture and mix everything very well to obtain a homogeneous mass.

Step 2: Place the base in the mold.



Grease a cheesecake pan with a little butter and place the cookie mixture in it.


Using a spoon, stretch the cookies over the entire bottom of the pan and go into 2 centimeters around the edges. For now, put it all in the refrigerator, just enough for as long as you need to prepare the curd mass.

Step 3: mix the curd mass.



To prepare the curd mass, simply mix all its ingredients using a mixer until you get a completely homogeneous consistency. First, mix cottage cheese with sugar and a pinch of salt at low speed, then flour and sour cream, and then beat in one egg at a time, stirring thoroughly after each. Add the lemon zest and vanilla last.

Step 4: bake cheesecake from cottage cheese and cookies.



Remove the pan from the refrigerator and carefully pour the curd mixture onto the cookie base.


Bake the cheesecake first 170 degrees(in preheated oven) for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 120 degrees and bake some more 60 minutes. But don’t leave the cheesecake unattended, especially if you’re making it for the first time, since it all depends on your oven, and the cottage cheese may start to burn and become too “brown” crusted.

Step 5: decorate the cheesecake with cottage cheese and cookies.



When the cottage cheese and cookie cheesecake is ready, leave it to cool at room temperature. It should cool completely, ideally prepare the dessert in the evening, and decorate and serve it in the morning.
You can decorate the cheesecake with whatever your heart desires. Here it's homemade berry jam. But just powdered sugar and chocolate glaze will do, and even without anything else the dessert will be delicious.

Step 6: Serve cheesecake made from cottage cheese and cookies.



Cut your cheesecake into portions and serve with tea or other drinks.
