2 hrsREADY
2 hrsSkip the oven and make this creamy cheesecake by blending cream cheese with apricot purée made from canned fruit and its syrup.
Unflavored gelatin gives the filling its structure, so all you need to do is beat, pour, and chill.
The chocolate crumb crust adds rich contrast to the fruity filling, while fresh apricot slices on top make it look like you spent hours decorating.
Kitchen Tips
- Purée the apricots with their syrup until completely smooth before heating
- Stir the gelatin mixture for a full 5 minutes to ensure it’s completely dissolved
- Let the filling stand for 10 minutes before pouring to prevent the crust from getting soggy
Ingredients
Directions
In blender or food processor, purée 10 apricot halves with reserved syrup; heat to boiling.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, mix unflavored gelatine with sugar; add hot liquid and stir until gelatine is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes.
With electric mixer, beat in cream cheese and vanilla until smooth; let stand 10 minutes.
Pour into prepared crust; chill until firm.
Garnish with remaining apricot halves, sliced and, if desired, whipping cream.
