No Bake Mixed Berry Cheesecake

The summers call for no bake, easy, chilled desserts, and this no bake mixed berry cheesecake is no exception. We all love a cold and smooth cheesecake, and this one will be unforgettable. 

You can always change up the coulis, stone fruit sounds absolutely delightful. Or even go with a tropical fruit flavour. Add different flavour essences like pineapple or coconut essence to change the flavours of the actual cheesecake itself.

3. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the base and level it out. 

4. Chill in the fridge for 3-4 hours. 

5. For the berry coulis, grind the mixed berries until smooth then combine the mixed berries, 1/4 cup sugar and the corn starch in a saucepan. 

6. Cook it on a low heat for 3-4 minutes until smooth and shiny. 

7. Pass the coulis through a sieve to remove the seeds. 

8. Cool it to room temperature before pouring it over the cheesecake. Decorate with more berries and serve.
