Mother's Day No-Bake Cheesecake (Printable version)

Creamy no-bake cheesecake on a buttery biscuit base, topped with vibrant raspberry coulis for a festive finish.

# Ingredients list:

→ Biscuit Crust

01 - 200 g digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
02 - 100 g unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheesecake Filling

03 - 400 g cream cheese, softened
04 - 200 ml double cream (heavy cream), cold
05 - 100 g powdered sugar
06 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
07 - 1 tbsp lemon juice

→ Raspberry Coulis

08 - 250 g fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
09 - 60 g granulated sugar
10 - 1 tbsp lemon juice

# Steps:

01 - Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin. Mix with melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture evenly into the base of a 20 cm (8") springform tin lined with baking parchment. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
02 - Beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice; mix until combined. In a separate bowl, whip the double cream to soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Pour the filling over the biscuit base, smoothing the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to set.
03 - In a saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down. Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Allow to cool.
04 - Remove the cheesecake from the springform tin and transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle generously with raspberry coulis and garnish with extra fresh raspberries if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It’s gloriously simple, yet feels like a secret bakery treat every time.
  • The bright raspberry coulis cuts through the creamy richness for a perfectly balanced bite.
02 -
  • If you don’t chill the crust long enough, it will crumble when you slice it—patience is everything.
  • Using very cold cream makes whipping so much easier—warm cream just won’t hold the peaks as well.
03 -
  • Line the tin well with parchment—the sides too—so the cheesecake releases smoothly every time.
  • Smooth the top with an offset spatula for the most picture-perfect finish, then run a hot knife under water for clean slices.
