Decadent pot cheesecake: A no‑bake treat for any occasion
Cheesecake from a pot, also known as cooked cheesecake, is a delicious alternative to classic no-bake cheesecakes. A creamy mixture of curd cheese, pudding, fruit jelly, and a graham cracker crust is a combination no sweet tooth can resist.
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 flavor come from the combination of curd cheese, eggs, sugar, and other ingredients that, when cooked, create a uniform mass somewhat resembling cheese pudding. This cake is perfect for birthday parties, family gatherings, or friend visits.
If you are worried about sinking cheesecakes and undercooked centers, 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 recommend sprinkling the whole thing with chopped nuts as well. Heavenly!
