How to Make Cold Cheesecake: The Original Recipe

Discover the delightful and creamy world of cold cheesecake with this original, easy-to-follow recipe. Perfect for any occasion, this dessert will impress your family and friends with its smooth texture and delicious flavor.

Ingredients

  • 200 grams of digestive biscuits
  • 100 grams of unsalted butter (melted)
  • 400 grams of cream cheese
  • 200 grams of powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 300 ml of heavy whipping cream
  • Fresh fruits (for topping, optional)
  • Chocolate or caramel sauce (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base

    Crush the digestive biscuits in a food processor until fine crumbs form. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with the melted butter, stirring well until the mixture resembles wet sand.

    Press the biscuit mixture into the bottom of a springform pan evenly to form the crust. Place it in the fridge to set while you prepare the filling.

  2. Make the Filling

    In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

    In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

  3. Assemble the Cheesecake

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to set completely.

  4. Serve

    Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with fresh fruits and drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce if desired.

    Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious homemade cold cheesecake!
