Cheesecake is a very popular, but at the same time quite high-calorie and expensive dessert. However, some components of the cheesecake can be replaced, and then you get a budget PP version of a delicious cheesecake without baking.
Ingredients
For sand base:
- Shortbread cookies - 250 grams;
- Butter - 100 grams.
For the curd layer:
- Fat-free cottage cheese - 400 grams;
- Sugar - 150 grams;
- Cream 10% - 200 milliliters;
- Gelatin - 2 tablespoons;
- Vanillin - sachet.
For the fruit layer:
- Canned fruits (peaches, pineapples, mangoes) - 2 cans;
- Gelatin - 1 tablespoon;
- If the syrup in canned food is too sour, you can adjust it with sugar at your discretion.
Step by step recipe
- The first step is to prepare the gelatin. Soak two tablespoons of gelatin in a glass of water to form the gelatinous mass for the curd layer of our no-bake cheesecake. Drain the syrup from one can of canned fruit and soak another tablespoon of gelatin in it. We leave the resulting liquids at room temperature for one hour.
- At this time, we begin to prepare the sand base. We take the simplest shortbread without flavorings and grind it into small crumbs. It is best to use a blender, but you can also manually use a hammer. If crumble with a blender, then do it in portions so that the cookies crumble evenly. Make sure that there are no large pieces of cookies left in the base. Next, you need to melt 100 grams of butter in the microwave, pour it into the sand crumbs and mix very thoroughly. We spread the sand mass on the bottom of the mold, ram it and press it very well, level the surface. We put it in the refrigerator until the next layer is ready.
- Mix water with gelatin thoroughly, pour into a saucepan and put on fire. We heat until the gelatin granules are completely dissolved, but do not boil. Remove from heat and cool. We do the same with another glass: pour the gelatin syrup into a saucepan or heat-resistant bowl, heat until smooth, cool.
- In a hand blender bowl, mix low fat cottage cheese, cream, sugar and vanillin. Beat everything with a blender until a very tender, light mass, without cottage cheese grains. Adjust sugar and vanillin to your liking. Pour cooled water with dissolved gelatin into the curd cream and beat thoroughly again until smooth. Fill the sand base with a curd layer and put in the refrigerator until the top layer sets, for about one hour.
- During this time, you need to remove canned fruits from two cans and cut them into thin slices. When the curd hardens, the fruits are laid out on top of it and poured with gelatin syrup. You can do the opposite: pour the syrup, and then put the fruit on the frozen jelly. Then you need to put the mold in the refrigerator for another 3-4 hours so that all layers are frozen. A healthy dessert is ready. Bon Appetit!
