Hello, hello! I’m back!! After a week of heatwave in France, then a November week in June, it seems that sunny days are back! Alleluiah! To celebrate this and the National American Day, what better than an amazing no-bake cheesecake recipe?
Cheesecake Memories and Endless Toppings
So let’s go to New York! Or Los Angeles! My best cheesecake memories!! Whether plain or topped with caramel, lemon curd, or a red fruit jelly, mamma mia!! What a divine treat! Honestly, cheesecake is always a winner.
This recipe is just super easy to make, and it’s a great hit among children. In fact, the pictures in this post come from the cheesecake baked by my daughters this weekend (13 and 7 years old!!). What could be more fun than giving the kids aprons and watching them cook or bake together? I just love it!
A Perfect Crust and Light Filling
The result is outstanding: the Speculoos crust is perfect, while the filling is light and smooth. You’ll sign for it at your first bite, I promise! Then, you can enjoy a little decoration moment. Spread red fruit jelly nicely on top of your cheesecake, add jelly drops, or even fresh fruits. It’s such a nice combination of beauty and delicious taste.

Okay, enough talking (though you know I enjoy it quite a lot!!) Let’s bake!!
Recipe for a 22 cm diameter mold.
Crush your graham crackers or Speculoos with a rolling pin until very fine crumbs form. Pour crumbs into a bowl and add the melted butter, and stir until well combined. Press flat the crumb mixture into a springform pan. Chill crust in your fridge. Mix the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract and sugar. Add the cream cheese until smooth. Whip the cream in order to make a chantilly (without sugar !). And add it to the cream cheese mixture with a spatula. Pour the filling into the crust; smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Set aside in your fridge for 3 hours. When serving, add your topping of choice. It is very convenient to have a plastic strip to put against your springform pan to make the unmolding easier. If you don't have such strip, ease the unmolding with a knife.No-Bake Cheesecake
