This No Bake Vanilla Cheesecake is one of the easiest & tastiest desserts you can make.Perfect for any party or get together, it’s sure to be loved by all.
For me, a dessert is a very important part of a good meal. Specially when guests come over, the first thing I decide in the menu is the dessert.
One of my favorite desserts of all time has been Serradura. It is a Portuguese dessert which is very easy to make with simple ingredients. It has always been a hit with both friends as well as family and I always thought that it was the easiest and tastiest dessert to make.
This was until I made this no bake vanilla cheesecake. Now I have another addition to my super-easy, super-yummy desserts list. Cheesecake had always been one of my favorite desserts. However, I had only eaten it at cafes and restaurants always thinking that it would be too difficult to make at home. A few days back, I bought a sweetened condensed milk tin at home planning to make some dessert. This tin had a very simple recipe of no bake vanilla cheesecake written on it, and immediately I decided that I wanted to try it. I had all the ingredients at home, except for gelatin which I purchased and set about the task of making this dessert. This cheesecake is extremely easy to make and the initial steps can be done within 15-20 minutes, followed by allowing it to set in the fridge for 3-4 hours.
Since I was making the plain vanilla cheesecake, I decided to make some topping to go with it. I found one amazing cherry wine topping recipe at http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/vanilla-cheesecake-with-cherry-topping. I used this recipe only for the topping part of it and not the cheesecake.
The combination of cheesecake with the cherry wine topping was so excellent that I repeated it again in a weeks time. So do try it out, and I am sure you will love it! Here are some of my other favorite dessert recipes from my super-easy, super-yummy desserts list – Trifle, Choco Lava Cake and Tender Coconut Pudding. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
