Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 250g Lotus biscuits (crushed)
  • 100g unsalted butter (melted)

For the cheesecake filling:

  • 500g cream cheese (softened)
  • 250ml heavy whipping cream
  • 150g powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 100g Lotus spread (speculoos)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin (optional for firmness)
  • 3 tablespoons cold water (for gelatin, if used)

For the topping:

  • Whipped cream (for garnish)
  • Crushed Lotus biscuits (for garnish)
  • Caramel sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Lotus biscuits with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
    • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Place it in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, and mix until well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
    • If using gelatin for added firmness, dissolve it in cold water, then gently heat until melted. Allow it to cool slightly, then mix it into the cheesecake filling. If not using gelatin, proceed to the next step.
    • Add the Lotus spread to the mixture and fold until evenly incorporated.
  3. Assemble the Cheesecake:
    • Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
    • Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
  4. Serve:
    • Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
    • Garnish with whipped cream, crushed Lotus biscuits, and a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.
    • Slice and enjoy the delightful flavors of your No-Bake Lotus Cheesecake!
