No Bake Pineapple Cheesecake - No Gelatin or Agar Agar
No Bake Pineapple Cheesecake is a smooth, creamy and light cheesecake flavoured with pineapples. A no bake dessert that tastes amazing when served chill is a perfect dessert for this Summer.
Crush the biscuits in a food processor without adding any water until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the melted butter and combine to form a mixture that holds its shape when pressed in your palms. (Refer video)
Transfer it to a 20 cm springform pan and press it firmly until it coats the entire pan in a nice even layer. Place it in the fridge and let it set for 15 mins or until you prepare the cream cheese filling.
For the Cream cheese layer
Combine together the pineapple juice and cornstarch in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil and then simmer until it thickens and comes together.
Transfer to a small bowl. Cling wrap and refrigerate until it cools.
Meanwhile, whip the cream cheese and sugar together until creamy and smooth.
In a separate bowl whip the cream until stiff peaks.
Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture in two stages and combine together.
By this time the thickened pineapple juice would have cooled down. Add it to the cream cheese mixture along with the pineapple cubes. Combine together until well mixed and our filling is ready too.
Transfer it on top of the biscuit base layer. Cling wrap and let is sit in the fridge for 6-8 hours or overnight.
The Jelly Layer
Combine together the pineapple juice, agar agar and sugar in a saucepan.
Bring it to a rolling boil until you see no specs of agar agar left in the pan.
Let it cool for 5-10 mins and then pour on top of the cheesecake layer.
Garnish it with chocolate decorations and you are good to go :D
