Summer, heat… In such weather, you just don't want to turn on the oven. After all, the kitchen will then turn into a hot shop of a smelter. On the other hand, I want to treat myself and loved ones to some delicious homemade dessert. There is an exit! This is a cheesecake with cottage cheese without baking. Mankind has accumulated a lot of recipes for such a dish. Another thing is that these cheesecakes are prepared (as the name implies) with cream cheese. But here we are modifying the classic recipe and will use cottage cheese. This will reduce the cost of the dish, and reduce its calorie content from 600 kcal to 400 per serving. Classic cottage cheese cheesecake is a two-layer cake. In it, the bottom layer is the “dough”, and the top layer is a tender soufflé. The perfect dessert for a summer tea party!

Basic base recipe

The French believe that the first cheesecake with cottage cheese without baking was born from them, in the province of Normandy. The British dispute this and claim that the recipe for chilled cheesecake was invented in Foggy Albion. Be that as it may, but a dessert, for which it is necessary to stock up on a large amount of fatty curd and cream, could only be born in the area where people roam the endless green meadowsnumerous herds of fat cows. In America, cheesecake is baked, but in the Old World it is cooked without the use of an oven. For the lower layer, we take 250 grams of shortbread cookies and grind it into small crumbs using a rolling pin or blender. Heat half a pack of butter. Pour over the crumbs and mix. We spread the mass in a round shape with removable sides and tamp well. This base is used for any cheesecakes, including American ones, which are then baked.

Ideas for test base

Basic recipe (regular shortbread and melted butter) can be supplemented. Chocolate goes well with cottage cheese. You can rub the tiles into crumbs, pour oil, mix. The easiest option is to use chocolate chip cookies. Berries with cottage cheese is a classic of the genre. Let's put it on the cake. Add a handful of blueberries or raspberries to the blender bowl and grind them with cookies. Here's another idea borrowed from the Italian dessert Tiramisu. Savoiardi cookies (or any dry biscuit) are dipped for a second in brewed natural coffee with liquor. We spread our cheesecake base in a square shape. The no-bake recipe with cottage cheese implies that you already have the top layer ready. We spread the cheese soufflé and put the cake to cool in the refrigerator for several hours. During this time, the savoiardi soaked in coffee should enter into a strong union with the curd filling.

Cheese layer

Squeeze juice into a glassone lemon. Add three teaspoons of gelatin. We put in a water bath until the crystals dissolve. Then add a quarter cup of sugar. Continue stirring until it dissolves. Whip two cups of heavy cream, gradually adding 225 grams of mascarpone and 250 grams of cream cheese. At the end, pour out a bag of vanilla. We combine the creamy mass with gelatin dissolved in lemon juice. Mix everything well and fill the bottom layer. Smooth the surface with the back of the knife. This is how cheesecake is made. The classic no-bake cottage cheese recipe allows you to replace two expensive ingredients with a pound of cottage cheese. However, it should be as fat as possible. And before whipping, it must be rubbed through a sieve. After cooling, the cake can be decorated with powdered sugar or berries.

Cherry no-bake biscuit and cottage cheese cheesecake

In principle, in any recipe for this dessert, the bottom cake is prepared in the same way. We melt the butter in a saucepan and pour it over the crumbled cookies. The quantity and, in fact, the thickness of the lower layer depends on you. If you are watching your figure and want to create the lightest dessert possible, take 200 grams of wholemeal biscuits. In order for it to create a stable layer, 90 g of butter is enough. Wash four lemons and cut the zest with a fine grater. Squeeze juice into a separate bowl. Mix the zest with a pack of ricotta curd and six tablespoons of sugar. Whip one hundred and fifty milliliters of cooking cream, combine with the cheese mass. Mix with a wooden spoon! Add three and a half tablespoons of gelatin to lemon juice and, as in the previous recipe, bring to a thickening in a water bath. We connect the two components, pour on the cake. When the cheesecake has stood for at least two hours in the refrigerator, we start preparing the cherry sauce. Boil four hundred grams of berries in syrup over low heat until the liquid has evaporated by three quarters. When the sauce is completely cool, pour it over the cake and put it back in the fridge.

Chocolate Strawberry No-Bake Cheesecake with Cottage Cheese

We prepare the basis for the cake in the same way, only three chocolate bars for the cookies. Soak 30 g of gelatin in half a glass of cold water. While it swells, grind 400 grams of fatty cottage cheese with a glass of sugar. Let's heat another chocolate bar with two tablespoons of milk over low heat. Pour into the curd and mix with a blender. We put a bowl of gelatin in a water bath and stir until the crystals dissolve. Separately, beat 400 g of fat sour cream. Without stopping the mixer, add the curd mass and pour in the gelatin. Put some filling on top of the cookie base. We level. We put whole strawberries on the curd filling. Gently pour the remaining filling over the berries. Shake the mold or hit it on the table - then the extra air bubbles will come out and the cake will remain flat. Leave it in the fridge overnight.

Striped cheesecake

When the base is ready, wipe half a kilo of cottage cheese through a sieve. We knead the same amount of sour cream with 300 grams of sugar. Add tocottage cheese. Mash three hundred grams of blueberries. Put half of the cottage cheese in berry puree, mix. Let's prepare the gelatin. Add it equally to both servings of curd cream. Now, alternately lay out soufflés of different colors on the basis of cookies. Since purple is more liquid in structure, it should be on top, covering white with itself. We hide the striped blueberry cheesecake with cottage cheese without baking in the refrigerator for five hours. Decorate with whipped cream.

Coffee Cheesecake

Cottage cheese (400 g) wipe through a sieve. We prepare coffee from two spoons of instant powder and a minimum amount of boiling water. Add a glass of sour cream, a bag of vanillin and three tablespoons of sugar to the curd. Pour coffee and a glass of liquor (preferably Baileys). Beat this mass with a mixer for ten minutes. Spread on a base of butter-soaked biscuits. We put the coffee cheesecake with cottage cheese without baking in the refrigerator for 2-6 hours. Three half a bar of dark chocolate with large chips. We decorate our dessert with it. If desired, you can sprinkle the top and sides of our dessert with powdered sugar.

Cheesecake with candies "Korovka"

For the filling, soak 30 g of gelatin in half a glass of cold water. After 20 minutes, put the dishes in a water bath and stir until the crystals dissolve. So that the jelly does not freeze, leave the dishes in boiling water. We clean two hundred grams of "Korovka" from labels, put it in a saucepan, pour half a glass of milk. Pour a bag of vanilla and six tablespoons of sugar. We put the saucepan on the fire and stir until the masswill not become homogeneous. Beat 400 g of cottage cheese, 200 g of fat sour cream with caramel mass. Pour in the dissolved gelatin. Whisk again. Pour the filling onto the cookie base. We remove the cheesecake from cottage cheese with gelatin (without baking, as you could see, it is quite simple to prepare it) in the refrigerator for the night.
