More and more often you can hear how people use various foreign words in their vocabulary, and, having heard the conversation that we will cook strawberry cheesecake, many people hardly understand what it is about.

In this article you can find the easiest, most affordable and economical recipe for an elegant dessert that can not only surprise, but also feed everyone well.

Delicious Outlander

If you carefully parse the word "cheesecake" itself, then it consists of two components cheese - "cheese" and cake - "cake". Thus, we can safely say that this is an American dish. Moreover, it was invented in New York. This city is called the "cheesecake capital".

Despite this, some scientists claim that cheesecake has been made before, but there is too little information about this to make serious claims.

It is interesting that the composition includes cheese, which, in the concept of many people, is not suitable for sweet desserts. In fact, the recipe for strawberry cheesecake includes cottage cheese, which is not at all like the usual one. He is valued forsoft, stretchy texture, although it can be easily replaced with other dairy products.

List of ingredients

Strawberry cheesecake, the photo of which you can see now, consists of basic ingredients. All of these can be bought at a regular grocery store, but you should check about strawberries.

Strawberries are seasonal and hard to come by in winter, so we suggest you opt for a frozen berry and try replacing it with another sweet fruit available, like an orange.

1. Shortbread - 250 grams.
2. Butter - 100g
3. Cottage cheese - 500g
4. Condensed milk - 1 can.
5. Gelatin - 10g
6. Milk - 2 / 3 cups.
7. Strawberry - 150g

At this stage, the main part of the dessert is ready, it remains only to take into account the ingredients for the top layer of jelly:

1. Berry Jelly Pack - 1 pc
2. Water - 300 ml.
3. Strawberries - 100 grams.

First step: cookie base

What needs to be done?

1. Melt all the butter using a microwave oven or an ordinary gas stove, then set it aside to cool.
2. Meanwhile, carefully crush the cookies. To do this, you can use modern cooking tools, for example, various blenders, but if one is not at hand, then use an ordinary bag and a rolling pin. But keep in mind that the crumb should look like flour, so that in the future everythingsucceeded.
3. You can already add liquid oil to the finished crushed mixture and mix. This results in small lumps, but don't be alarmed, this is how it should be.
4. Pour the "dough" into the mold and carefully tamp down with your hands or a spoon. Since we are making a no-bake strawberry cheesecake, we put this base in the refrigerator so that everything freezes.

Second step: cream base

1. Pour gelatin with boiled liquid, water or milk, wait for the mixture to swell.
2. Now combine the cottage cheese and condensed milk in a blender (in this case, we can not do without it) and bring to a state of gentle and homogeneous cream. There should be no lumps!
3. Slightly heat the swollen gelatin until the hard parts dissolve (never boil), then boldly add to the sweet curd mixture.
4. Pour chopped strawberries here, mix everything together and transfer to a frozen cookie base. The form itself must be returned to the refrigerator again.

Third step: berry jelly

Preparing jelly.

1. Cook it according to the directions on your package, then let it cool down a bit before thickening.
2. At this time, you can take out the form from the refrigerator to decorate the dessert. Since this is a strawberry cheesecake recipe, strawberries should definitely be included in the decor. To do this, carefully wash and clean the berry, and then cut it into peculiar petals, which we lay outlayers. As a result of a slight overlay of each subsequent layer, the berry composition acquires volume.
3. Pour the finished berry composition with cooled, but still liquid jelly, leave in the refrigerator for several hours. During this time, the upper part will seize, and the lower layer will be saturated with cream, and this is exactly what we need.

Worthwhile result

When the strawberry cheesecake has cooled down, you can safely take it out of the mold, garnish with a sprig of mint and serve. In this case, the dessert is good chilled with a cup of tea.

Thanks to the curd, its main part is creamy and tender, the cake is supple and textured, and the jelly is light and airy. If the cheesecake turns out exactly like this, then your dessert was a success. You can cook it for the holiday, and not buy ready-made in the store. Homemade cheesecake always tastes special.

This is its advantage, that it is good with many fillings and additives, easy to prepare and does not even require an oven, which is really great. Well, we shared this wonderful recipe with the readers, now it's time to share it with someone else, pass this sweet baton to your friends and relatives.
