No - Bake Strawberry Cheesecake in a glass

This recipe is my entry for the event "Shhh!!! Cooking Secretly" challenge conducted by Mayuri Patel of Mayuri's Jikoni.   For the month of January, I have paired with Sharanya Pallanisshami of "Sara's Tasty Buds" and the ingredient given by her is Strawberry and cheese.

I have used both the ingredients and prepared a soft, silky & delicious, no-bake strawberry cheese cake.

This creamy no-bake cheesecake served with fresh fruit sauce in individual dishes is perfect for parties and get together. It is easy to make this desert with only few ingredients.

You can try this recipe also in spring foam pan(gelatin or agar agar is must to hold the shape) or shot according to your creativity / convenience. 

It is suitable to relish for any special occasions. 

Do prepare and share with your loved ones!

Strawberry Juice Jelly

Here is a cute, simple & yummy jelly treat particularly for children; my kids loved it more than I expected!  Try this and treat your children to renew the bonding & love you share with them.

Will come out with more such dishes on this month of Valentine!  Advance wishes for the Valentine's Day!!!!

Ingredients:

Strawberry juice (sweetened) - 2 cups 

Un-flavoured Gelatin - 1 ½  tbsp

Condensed milk - 2 tbsp

Cold water - 1/3 cup

unflavoured oil - to coat on silicone moulds (this will help to unmould the jelly easily)

Directions

In a bowl, sprinkle 1½ tablespoon of un-flavoured gelatin over the cold water.  Leave for 5  minutes to allow it to become soft .

Meanwhile, heat two cups of the strawberry juice (until hot but upto boiling) and mix in gelatin till it dissolves completely (do this in a low flame).

Allow to cool; then add condensed milk and stir until mixture is even and creamy.

Grease the jelly moulds with un-flavoured oil and pour the mixture in the moulds.

                                 

Place it in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours or until set.  Un-mould and Serve.

Note:

If you are using unsweetened juice, add sugar separately as required.  Remember to add while heating the juice and mix till the sugar dissolves..

You can also try with your other favorite juices.

I have added condensed milk to give a smooth texture to jelly; it also helps to retain perfect shape when you un-mould.
