How To Make Redcurrant No Bake Cheesecake – Recipe

Ingredients

  • 100g digestive biscuits
  • 50g butter
  • 275g cream cheese
  • 225ml double cream
  • 50g icing sugar
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • 25g redcurrants plus more for decorating

You will also need a 20cm, loose bottomed, spring form cake tin or four adjustable heart shaped moulds which will expand and allow you to release your cheesecakes.

Valentines-Treat-for-Maggy Method

  • Lightly grease your tin or moulds with butter
  • whizz the biscuits in a food processor until crumbed (children like putting the biscuits into a plastic bag and bashing them with a rolling pin which does the job just as well and is lots of fun!)
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and mix thoroughly into the biscuit crumbs
  • Press the biscuit crumbs firmly into your tin or moulds
  • Simmer your redcurrants in a pan until they release their juice and go nice and squishy
  • Pass them though a fine plastic sieve to remove skin and seeds, pressing with a spoon to make sure you have extracted all the juice, allow to cool
  • In a food processor, whisk together the cream cheese, vanilla, lemon juice, redcurrant juice and icing sugar until smooth
  • Whisk the cream until it forms soft peaks and fold into the cream cheese mixture
  • Spoon on top of the biscuit base, smooth the tops and refrigerate overnight
  • Unmould carefully and serve garnished with a sprig of redcurrants or some rose petals for your loved one!
