Cooked cheesecake recipe: A foolproof, creamy delight

Cooked cheesecake is an exceptionally delicate and creamy dessert that does not require baking. However, it does not resemble classic no-bake cheesecakes. Its velvety texture and intense flavour are thanks to the combination of curd cheese, eggs, sugar, and other ingredients that, when cooked, create a uniform mass that somewhat resembles cheese pudding. This cake is perfect for birthday parties, family gatherings, or friend visits.

If you are worried about sinking cheesecakes and undercooked centres, this recipe deserves a permanent spot in your dessert repertoire. You can prepare the entire dish in a pot without baking. Instead of a crumbly crust, graham crackers work well here. It’s simple and tasty. You can prepare this no-bake cheesecake quickly, but plan it for the day before your event, as it needs to chill well.

If you don't like jelly on cheesecakes, you can replace it with chocolate or caramel glaze. I also recommend sprinkling the whole thing with chopped nuts. Heavenly!

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of curd cheese from a bucket,
• 200 g of butter,
• 100 g of sugar,
• vanilla extract,
• 5 eggs,
• 2 sugar-free vanilla puddings,
• 150 ml of milk,
• 300 g of graham crackers,
• 2 strawberry jellies,
• 2 cups of hot water,
• frozen fruits.

Preparation:

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan, adding vanilla extract.
2. When it is melted, add sugar and mix.
3. Then add cheesecake curd cheese and eggs, and mix thoroughly, heating the mixture. The mass should be uniform and smooth.
4. Add the pudding powders to the milk, mix, and pour into the pot.
5. Cook the mixture until it thickens. Remember to stir so nothing burns.
6. Line the bottom of a baking tray with parchment paper and arrange a layer of graham crackers. Spread half of the cheese mixture and cover with graham crackers.
7. Spread the rest of the cheese mixture and a third layer of graham crackers—place in the refrigerator.
8. Dissolve the jellies in hot water and add frozen fruits.
9. When the jelly starts to thicken, pour it over the cheesecake.
10. Chill until the jelly sets, preferably overnight.

Delicious cooked cheesecake is ready. Enjoy!
