No-Bake Lemon Passionfruit Cheesecake Recipe

The inspiration for this no-bake lemon & passionfruit cheesecake recipe was a friend’s birthday party that was being held at the park. I was inspired to do a photo shoot in the open incorporating the trees, grass, bench and a beautiful lake. If you follow me on Instagram  you know that I love making tarts and cheesecakes and my community has nick-named me the “Queen of Tarts”. There’s so much you can do with cheesecakes and photographing them has always been a breeze.

I’ve always made healthy cheesecakes and tarts but for this No-bake lemon & passionfruit recipe I went a little bit decadent and sweet. The base is made from biscuits and the filling from condensed milk infused with lemon and passionfruit with an additional lemon curd layer.

What is a No-Bake Cheesecake?

In-case you’re familiar with the traditional baked cheesecakes, No-bake cheesecake is just as the word states-Not baked. It’s an easier way of making cheesecakes and take the hustle away from having to use your oven. While traditional cheesecakes contain eggs in the filling that need to be cooked, no- bake cheesecakes give you the flexibility to include in your filling and base things that you’d normally eat without being cooked. And although there’s no baking, you require to set the cake in the fridge for a few hours.

Secret to the Perfect No-Bake Lemon & Passionfruit Cheesecake Recipe

1. You require a base- This could be anything that is readily edible and requires no baking. Anything from biscuits, cookie dough, oats etc.
2. A filling also that is edible. Like a fruit puree, condensed milk, sweetened milk etc.
3. A thickener. I prefer using a vegan thickener like agar agar powder but feel free to use gelatin or corn starch.
4. Make sure to set the cheesecake for hours in the fridge. Preferably overnight or anything from 3 hours.
