No Bake Vanilla Cheesecake Recipe – Egg Free and Gelatin Free

No Bake Vanilla Cheesecake is one of my favourite cheesecake recipes. I really struggled making perfect cheesecakes, either no bake or baked. I have some cheesecakes in the blog, but still whenever I attempt a new one, I end up with failing more than once. This happened before I did the baked cheesecakes class. It was definitely a learning phase for me. After successfully making and teaching baked cheesecakes, I then started planning for a no bake cheesecake class. While preparing for it, I also made this cheesecake with agar agar.

No bake vanilla cheesecake with agar agar

Using agar agar in recipes is quite tedious. Finding out the correct proportion of ingredients is really important while using agar agar. If you use too much, then the cake will set really hard and gummy. If the quantity is not sufficient, then the cheesecake will not set at all. So after a few experiments, I found the proper ratio of agar agar powder. I got my agar agar powder from amazon. Let me share the link to the product I am using. Use it to get the same result. If changing the type of the agar agar powder, then make sure to do a small batch and see how it sets before attempting a larger cake. Click on the image to buy the agar agar powder from Amazon.

No bake vanilla cheesecake with fruit compote

Fruit compote goes really well with cheesecakes. I love blueberry compote a lot with vanilla, but you can use any fruit compote. Use the same recipe and change the fruits. This recipe is very easy and stores well in fridge for months. The amount of sugar added depends on how sweet your fruits are. If they are sweeter, then reduce the amount of sugar added and if they are too tart, then increase sugar. It is all about individual taste.

I also did a live session for this recipe in my FB group Fun With Egg Free Baking. If you are not yet part of the group, then click this link to join – Fun With Egg Free Baking FB Group . The session is also in the bottom of the post. You can watch the whole session here itself. Scroll to the bottom of the post.

I also do live session in my Instagram account every week. If you want to know more about baking, please follow me on insta as well.

I have made a 4″ small cheesecake in the video, but you can double the recipe to make 7″ cake. That will give you 8 slices. Loose bottomed tin is the best one to make cheesecakes. The final cake comes out perfectly. I am not a very great fan of springform pan as it is extremely tough to remove the biscuit base out of the base plate.

I like to use Britannia Marie Gold in my cheesecake biscuit bases. They have the correct sweetness, not too much of oil and perfectly crisp for the set cheesecakes. But you can also use any kind of cookies or biscuits you like. If using cream biscuits for the base, reduce the amount of butter used, as the filling itself will have some butter in it. That way your base won’t become too oily or buttery.
