More and more often you can hear how people use various foreign words in their vocabulary, and, having heard the conversation that we will cook strawberry cheesecake, many hardly understood what was being said.
In this article you can find the simplest, most affordable and economical recipe for an elegant dessert, which can not only surprise, but also provide good nutrition to everyone.
Tasty alien
If you carefully analyze the word "cheesecake", then it consists of two components of cheese - "cheese" and cake - "cake". Thus, we can safely say that this is an American dish. Moreover, it was invented in New York. This city is called the "capital of cheesecake."
Despite this, some scientists claim that the manufacture of cheesecake has been encountered before, but there is too little information about it to make serious statements.
Interestingly, the composition includes cheese, which in the concept of many people is not suitable for sweet desserts. In fact, the strawberry cheesecake recipe includes cottage cheese, which is completely different from ordinary cheese. It is valued for its delicate, supple texture, although it can easily be replaced with other dairy products.
List of ingredients
The strawberry cheesecake, the photo of which you can now see, consists of the basic components. All this can be bought at a regular grocery store, but it’s worth clarifying about strawberries.
Strawberry is a seasonal berry, so in winter it is difficult to find, so we advise you to choose a frozen berry, as well as try replacing it with another available sweet fruit, such as orange.
- Shortbread Cookies - 250 grams.
- Butter - 100 g.
- Cottage cheese - 500 g.
- Condensed milk - 1 can.
- Gelatin - 10 g.
- Milk - 2/3 cup.
- Strawberry - 150 g.
At this stage, the main part of the dessert is ready, it remains only to consider the ingredients for the top layer of jelly:
- Packing of berry jelly - 1 pc.
- Water - 300 ml.
- Strawberries - 100 grams.
First step: cookie base
What should be done?
- Melt all the butter with a microwave or ordinary gas stove, then set it aside to cool.
- Grind cookies carefully at this time. For this, you can use modern cooking tools, for example various blenders, but if one was not at hand, then use an ordinary package and a rolling pin. But keep in mind that the crumb should be like flour, so that in the future everything worked out.
- You can already add liquid oil to the prepared chopped mixture and mix. As a result, small lumps form, but do not be alarmed, it should be so.
- Put the "dough" in the form and carefully tamp with your hands or a spoon. Since we cook strawberry cheesecake without baking, we remove this base in the refrigerator so that everything freezes.
Second step: creamy base
- Pour the gelatin with boiled liquid, water or milk, wait until the mixture swells.
- Now combine the cottage cheese and condensed milk in a blender (in this case, we can not do without it) and bring to the state of a gentle and uniform cream. Lumps should not be!
- Heat the swollen gelatin slightly to dissolve the solid parts (never bring it to a boil), then feel free to add it to the sweet curd mixture.
- Sprinkle chopped strawberries here, mix everything together and transfer to a frozen base from the biscuit. The form itself must again be returned to the refrigerator.
Third step: berry jelly
Cooking jelly.
- Prepare it, according to the recommendations on your packaging, and then let it cool slightly, without thickening.
- At this time, you can get the form from the refrigerator to decorate the dessert. Since this is a recipe for strawberry cheesecake, then undoubtedly strawberries should be involved in the decor. To do this, thoroughly wash and clean the berry, and then cut it with peculiar petals, which we lay out in layers. As a result of a small overlay of each subsequent layer, the berry composition acquires volume.
- Pour the finished berry composition with cooled, but still liquid jelly, leave it in the refrigerator for several hours. During this time, the upper part will set, and the lower layer will be saturated with cream, and this is just what we need.
Worth the result
When the strawberry cheesecake has cooled down well, it can be safely removed from the mold, garnished with a sprig of mint and serve. In this case, the dessert is good when cooled with a cup of tea.
Thanks to the curd, its main part is creamy and tender, the cake is supple and textured, and the jelly is light and airy. If the cheesecake will turn out just like that, then your dessert was a success. It can be prepared for the holiday, and not buy ready-made in the store. Homemade cheesecake always has a special taste.
This is its advantage, that it is good with many fillings and additives, it is easy to prepare and does not even require an oven, which is really great.
