Easy No-Bake Cheesecake

If you had to choose your favorite dessert, what would it be? Mine would probably be cheesecake. There are many versions of this all-time favorite but this recipe from Knox Gelatine® (found on the back of the box) has topped my list. I actually used a different gelatin but either work just as well. It can be made in just a few minutes and mixes easily in a blender to a creamy mixture. The hard part is waiting 4 hours for it to set. Use different toppings, garnishes or even crusts and the possibilities are endless. You can also make this with no crust.  I like to top it with fresh berries or a fruit glaze. Caramel or chocolate syrup also look pretty.  It can be poured into a pie plate for the classic cheesecake look or in a pan and cut into squares. It is high in saturated fat so I recommend using smaller portions. For this, the squares work nicely and you can get 16 small squares from an 8 or 9 inch square pan. The nutrition information is based on 1/8 of a pie so use half of the amounts listed if you are doing squares instead (assuming you only eat one square). 🙂
