I love to make No Bake Cheesecake because it is the easiest cake to handle when you don't have the time or energy to bake a traditional cake for Christmas. You can make this No Bake Cheesecake within an hour or even less and store it in the fridge 2-3 days in advance.
Base Ingredients:
120g Biscuit crumbs (Marie or chocolate biscuits)
30g Ground hazelnut
130g Melted butter
Grease a 9" round spring-form cake tin.
Mix biscuit crumbs and ground hazelnut together, add in melted butter.
Use hand to mix biscuit crumbs mixture and form it to a dough.
Press biscuits crumbs mixture at the base of the cake tin. Put cake tin in fridge for later use.

Lemon zest from one lemon

- Soak gelatin leaf in cold water till soft (about 30 seconds) , lightly squeeze excess water and then transfer to a double boiler.
- In another mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, lemon zest and icing sugar till thick and smooth.
- Slowly add dissolved gelatin to cream cheese followed by lemon juice, mix well.
- Use hand whisk to mix the fresh whipped cream into the cream cheese, mix well.

- Pour some of the plain cream cheese to the biscuit tin, spread evenly followed by half of the chocolate cream cheese.

- Using a pastry scraper to smooth the cheesecake surface evenly.
