What is a no bake cheesecake?
A no bake cheesecake is basically a dessert that has a oaty base with cheesecake filling on top that is set and not baked. Most often than not no bake cheesecakes are set with gelatin, cornflour or eggs. This specific recipe doesn’t use any of these ingredients to firm it, instead we use cream cheese and yogurt. The beauty about no bake cheesecakes is that you are meant to make it ahead so that it can be stored in the fridge to set overnight before serving. But this simple recipe can be ready in 30 minutes which is a real bonus.
