Description

A light and fluffy no-bake cheesecake that is perfect for a hot summer’s afternoon barbeque. You could easily change the lemon for your preferred flavour, or blend some berries and stir through.

Ingredients

  • ½ pounds, ⅞ ounces, weight Gluten Free Graham (or Similar) Crackers
  • 2-⅔ ounces, weight Butter
  • ¾ pounds, 3-⅞ ounces, weight Philadelphia Cream Cheese
  • 3-⅝ ounces, weight Castor Sugar
  • 1 cup, 2-⅔ teaspoons, ⅞ pinches Whipping Cream
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon, Rind

Preparation

Break the gluten free crackers into a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs are formed. Add butter and pulse a few times until the butter is combined with the crackers. You should be able to press a little of the mixture against the side of the food processor (make sure you’ve switched it off first!).

Line the bottom of a 20 cm springform pan with baking paper. Pour crumbs into the pan and press into the base and up the sides with your fingers. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

In a stand or hand mixer, whip the cream until thick (as you’d serve with cake). Add cream cheese and sugar and beat until combined. Add lemon rind and juice and beat for a minute or two.

Pour cream cheese into the base, cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours.

Cut into wedges and serve immediately with raspberry coulis (and a smile).

Me this for my mum’s Birthday today and it was really nice. I used 300ml of cream and a whole 500g of cream cheese cause I couldn’t be bothered with having tiny amounts left over and it was perfect. Used vanilla tea biscuits as they were really all they had at Thomas Dux when I dashed in and it worked perfectly. Very nice recipe.

I made this for my best friend for her baby shower since she is Celiac, and it turned out fantastic! As stated by another member, the conversion measurements were a bit confusing, but since this isn’t a recipe that needs to be baked, I was able to guess-timate most of it!

Also, in my boondock side of the world, gluten-free anything is hard to come by, and we could not find any graham crackers. Therefore, I substituted gluten-free chocolate chip cookies for the crust which worked very nicely because it added a sweetness and richness to the dessert. Other than that, I stuck to the recipe as well as I could, and it turned out pretty amazing! Very light and refreshing, and it’s a million times easier to make than a baked cheesecake! : ) Very lemony!!! I think that I will definitely be making this again for my husband and I, and I might have to play around with some different flavorings as suggested – like adding some vanilla!

The only thing to beware is that it is a soft cheesecake, so it may not hold up to much jostling! It made it safely to the shower, but once you cut it, it loses its shape a little if it gets even a little warm.

Thank you!

I made this cheesecake with my four-year-old son; he had a great time grinding the crumbs for the crust. It was super easy to make and turned out well. I used a combination of Mi-Del GF gingersnap cookies and Rice Chex as the base. The ginger in the crust gave the cheesecake a bit of a nice zing.

The conversion from metric to US measurements on the site wasn’t super clear, so I ended up going to another site to convert the amounts. This is what I used:

8.8 oz GF crackers
5.5 TBSP butter
16 oz cream cheese
3.5 oz sugar
8.5 oz whipping cream
juice of two lemons
rind of one lemon

Baked it in an 8-inch springform pan. We actually forgot to put down the baking paper, and it turned out fine.
