Hi all，I have few questions regarding a no bake peanut butter cheesecake.
I got this recipe and instructions to make a no bake peanut butter cheesecake :
1-1/4 cups Oreo
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup sugar
2 bars (100g each) Toblerone Swiss Milk Chocolate, chopped and divided
1 cup Cool Whipped Topping
Mix crumbs and butter; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate 10 min.Beat cream cheese, peanut butter and sugar with mixer until well blended. Add half the chocolate; mix well. Whisk in 1 cup Cool Whip. Spoon over crust. Refrigerate 3 hours. Microwave remaining Cool Whip and chocolate in small microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 min.; cool slightly. Pour over cheesecake. Refrigerate until firm. When ready to serve, run knife around rim of pan to loosen cake; remove rim.
I am just wondering will that be ok if I replace the Chocolate to another brand of chocolate and skip the "Cool Whip" part. I do not have Cool Whip and not planning to buy. Any advise is much appreciated.
Have a great day :)
Re-read recipe, there's something missing in ingredient list. It's calling for 1 cup CoolWhip in cheesecake mixture and then "remaining" CoolWhip to essentially make a ganache, but ingred list only calls for 1 cup CoolWhip.
I'd replace 1 cup CoolWhip in filling with whipped cream and use 75g cream in place of "remaining" CoolWhip melted in ganache
Hi hippiecac thks for the replies. Well, i got the recipes from
http://www.kraftcanada.com/recipes/no-bake-peanut-butter-cheesecake-95341
Before getting ur replies, i had skipped using that and didnt add even whipped cream. I thought whipped cream just for its consistency and the cool whip also for topping.
I am new in making a no bake cheesecake. First time i baked one, this is first time i make a no bake. Is my cake edible? It was hard. I will try again with what you recommended. Thanks. May i know what other purpose does those cream serves? Other than its consistencies? To mske rhe cake set? My cake got hardened after a night in the fridge.
Sorry for my silly questions. I am a beginner :-p
Your cheesecake is hard because it's only peanut butter, cream cheese, sugar and chopped chocolate. You need something to lighten it up,. i.e. whipped cream. So yes, it is for consistency.
Your chocolate topping is hard because you need cream (or in the original recipe's case, CoolWhip) to make it into a ganache. I've re-written the recipe using cream:
I still think there is too much butter in the crust, but I read the reviews on the recipe on KraftCanada and no one complained about it, so its prob just my personal preference.
There's a lot of sugar in the filling, so I'm not calling for sweetening the whipped cream. You can of course if you want.
1-1/4 cups Oreo Baking Crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 pkg. (250 g each) Philadelphia Brick Cream Cheese, softened
1 cup Kraft Smooth Peanut Butter
1 cup sugar
2 bars (100 g each) Toblerone Swiss Milk Chocolate, chopped, divided
1 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
1/4 cup heavy cream
Mix crumbs and butter; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate 10 min.
Beat cream cheese, peanut butter and sugar with mixer until well blended. Add half the chocolate; mix well. Fold in whipped cream. Spoon over crust. Refrigerate 3 hours.
Microwave remaining 1/4 cup cream and chocolate in small microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 min.; whisk to combine. Cool slightly. Pour over cheesecake. Refrigerate until firm. When ready to serve, run knife around rim of pan to loosen cake; remove rim.
Good luck :)
Hi thank u so much hippiecac. I will try that next time. I had finished eating the cake :-p
Well, it was like eating peanut butter and i cant taste any cheese flavor in it. And to me, it was too sweet. I didnt put exactly 1 cup of peanut butter, 3/4 cup, i guess.
I am wondering if i mix that with heavy cream or cool whip, will it taste more sweet? Other than consistency, will the taste becomes more delicious? I saw alot of good reviews from that recipe, but could be from people who loves to eat too sweet deserts :-D . Any idea?
I baked an oreo cheesecake with lemon juice in it once, and it tastes much better than this version.
Whatever it is, thks so much for your time to reply. Appreciates it much. Xoxo
Hey, no prob. This is actually what I do for a living (testing and reworking recipes) so it's easy.
The whipped (unsweetened) cream in the filling will make it lighter on the tongue, more like a cheesecake. To lessen the sweetness I'd go down to 3/4 cup sugar and 3/4 cup peanut butter. Adding unsweetened cream will not make it sweeter. Adding CoolWhip will.
In my experience, people accustomed using convenience foods (CoolWhip, Oreos, etc.) tend to have a sweeter palate! I always put lemon juice in my vanilla cheesecake too :)
