This No Bake Cheesecake is back by popular demand! I’ve received so many request for this cake that I can easily close my eyes to make them. The pink shades are so so pretty. I can totally understand why this cake is among one of the popular ones.
I love colors- vibrant or pastel. They just make you feel alive. Can you imagine a world without colors and blinded by darkness. It’s not a world I would like to wake up to.
My love for ombre goes beyond just admiring cakes online, it has invaded the world where cookies and cupcakes use to form my daily routine. Throwback to the blogpost where I wrote about how to create a petal rose no bake cheesecake with just a simple piping of buttercream blobs and spreading them out using the back of a spoon. You can read more about the steps but right now I think it’s time to share how I got that ombre pink cheesecake that is almost too pretty to be eaten.
The basic No bake cheesecake recipe is the same. It’s just the addition of edible food gel to create that ombre effect.
1) To make the crust, you’ll need digestive biscuits and a little butter
2) Melt Butter with digestive biscuits over a pan and mix. Press into 6″ Tin
3) Refrigerate while you prepare the other ingredients. Here I decided to slice strawberries to place around the sides of the cake ( Optional)
4) For the filling, you’ll need Philadelphia cheese + Castor Sugar
5) Cube cheese, sugar, vanilla paste together in a bowl
6) Add gelatin and beat till well combined
7) Place whipping cream in another bowl
8) Whip till soft peaks
9) Fold whipping cream into cream cheese mixture gently
10) Separate your cream cheese into 3 portions (1 white, 1 lighter pink, 1 darker pink)
11) Place the white portion of cream cheese into your tin
12) To get the desired color intensity, add red oloring drop by drop into the remaining 2 bowls of cream cheese. You can see from the bowl that I did not entirely mix the pink throughout as I like a little white streaks in the cake.
13) Place the lighter pink cream cheese on top of the white cream cheese
14) Place the darker pink cream cheese on top of the lighter pink cream cheese
15) Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set and viola!
