Mother's Day No-Bake Cheesecake (Printable)

Silky no-bake cheesecake on a buttery biscuit base, finished with bright raspberry coulis—perfect for Mother's Day.

# Ingredient 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

# Directions:

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 Advice:

01 -
  • It feels like a bakery-level dessert, but you only need to know how to stir and fold.
  • The bright raspberry sauce balances the creamy richness so each bite feels like a little celebration.
02 -
  • Once, I rushed the chilling and ended up with a runny slice—resist the urge to cut before it's had at least six hours to set.
  • I learned that straining the coulis is essential, or you'll find surprising seeds in every bite.
03 -
  • Let the cheesecake rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before slicing to avoid cracks.
  • Line the base of your tin with parchment for effortless release and smooth edges every time.
