How to Make Simple Basic Unbaked Cheesecake With Variations

  1. Crush biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziploc bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the crushed biscuits and mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan (approx. 20cm).
  4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gradually add the icing sugar, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.
  6. Fold in the whipped cream until just combined (be careful not to overmix).
  7. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the biscuit base and spread evenly.
  8. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  9. Once set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
  10. Serve chilled and enjoy! Garnish with your favourite toppings (fresh berries, chocolate shavings, etc.)
