Description

This no-bake cheesecake features a creamy filling and a rich cookie base, topped with fresh, seasonal blackberries for a refreshing end-of-summer treat.


Ingredients

Units
  • 5 oz (150 g) cookies
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) cocoa powder
  • 5 tbsp (70 g) butter
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) powdered sugar
  • 500 g cream cheese
  • 3 1/2 oz (100 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (250 ml) whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract
  • 10 1/2 oz (300 g) blackberries
  • 5 oz (150 g) sugar
  • 1 package powdered gelatin
  • 3/4 cup (200 ml) blackberry juice or water

Instructions

  1. Combine the finely ground cookies with the cocoa powder and powdered sugar in a bowl.
  2. Add the melted butter to the cookie mixture and combine well.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 24 cm diameter round pan to form the base. Place in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  5. In another bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture along with the vanilla extract.
  6. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled base.
  7. Wash the blackberries, then combine them with the sugar and the blackberry juice or water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for a few more minutes, then remove from heat.
  8. Prepare the gelatin according to the package instructions and stir it into the warm blackberry mixture until fully dissolved. Let cool to room temperature.
  9. Gently pour the cooled blackberry mixture over the filling.
  10. Refrigerate the cheesecake overnight, or until fully set.
  11. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the cheesecake need to set in the refrigerator?

Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours until set. Consume it within 3 days for optimal freshness, and serve it chilled straight from the fridge.

Can I use a different base if I don’t have the cookies the recipe calls for?

Yes — you can substitute the cookies with graham crackers or digestive biscuits. The base is made from 5 oz (150 g) of cookies combined with cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and melted butter, so any neutral, crisp biscuit will give you the same press-in crust.
