Ingredients
No Bake Raspberry Cheesecake
- Ingredients
- 6 Tbsps butter
- 3 ozs Amaretti cookies
- 3 Tbsps chopped almonds
- 18 ozs large, ripe Raspberries
- 6 sheets gelatin
- 14 ozs cream cheese
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 3 Tbsps sugar
- 2 Tbsps raspberry Brandy
- ½ cup Heavy cream
- 6 leaves mint
Line a springform pan with a 20 cm (approximately 8 inch) diameter with parchment paper. Using a food processor, crumble cookies and almonds together. Add melted butter and mix to combine. Spread mixture evenly into bottom of springform pan and press down firmly. Refrigerate until firm.
In the meantime, rinse raspberries. Bloom gelatin in cold water. Mix cream cheese with lemon juice, vanilla and sugar. Squeeze gelatin well and warm slightly to dissolve with raspberry brandy in a saucepan. Stir in 2 tablespoons of cream cheese mixture and then pour back into cream cheese mixture. Beat heavy cream until stiff and fold into mixture.
Spread half of the raspberries on crust. Top with cheese mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Rinse mint and shake dry. Once cake has set, remove springform ring and chill. Garnish with remaining raspberries and mint, slice and serve.

Healthy, because
Not only do raspberries taste delicious, they also protect our cells from free radical damage thanks to the antioxidants they contain. Almonds score points with lots of vegetable protein and plenty of vitamin E.
Even smarter
The cake can also be made vegetarian, i.e. without gelatine - just use vegetable agar-agar for thickening.
