No-bake cheesecake without the use of gelatin recipe is on our agenda today 🙂 Its’ creamy, light and sets perfectly (with agar-agar)! Bon appétit!
NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE INGREDIENTS:
Crackers (for the crust): you could use any type of crackers of your choice (store bought or homemade). We will crush them with rolling pin or food processor.
Cream Cheese: room temperature non-dairy cream cheese (if you are making a vegan version of these recipe) or dairy cream cheese.
Butter: use room temperature non-dairy butter (for vegan cheesecake).
Yoghurt: I used vegan (coconut) yoghurt, however, you could use any types of your favorite plain yoghurt.
Sugar: use cane sugar (for vegan version).
Agar-agar: use agar-agar powder instead of gelatin. The results would be perfect and quick!
