Cheesecake without gelatine

[LifeInAHamsterWheel]

I want to make a crunchie bar & malteser cheesecake but the recipe I found has gelatine in it. I don't have any. Do I really need it? Does anyone have a recipe without it that they could share?

Do you have a lemon jelly or any jelly sachets?

I've never used gelatine, just stuck it in the fridge overnight so it set properly.

I've never used gelatine in cheesecake, just cream cheese, double cream and sugar - never had a problem with setting. I got the basic recipe from the Philadelphia website

I’ve never seen gelatine needed in a cheesecake recipe, I just use Philadelphia with sugar & cream.

I'm vegan and have never used gelatine. Cheesecakes set perfectly well if left in a fridge overnight.

@cariadlet what vegan cream cheese do you use? (Sorry for thread hijack!)

@PippinStar I prefer Toffuti but I haven't been able to get hold of it recently. I'm making a cheesecake tomorrow and using Sainsburys free from vegan cream cheese. I don't think the flavour will be as nice but am going to make a chocolate orange cheesecake so hope those flavours will be the main ones we taste.

Okay great thanks. I’ll try to find tofutti, the only ones near me are Violife or Sheese. Hope it turns out well!

i use icing sugar cream cheese and cream and mine always sets

Great thank you I'd never heard of using it either.

I think I'll use this recipe and just fold in the maltesers and bashed up crunchie bars at the end?

Equal amounts of mascarpone and whipped double cream, half as much icing sugar then add in your chocolatr.

Janes patisserie have loads of no bake cheesecake recipes without gelatin!

dr oetker sell vegan 'gelatine' which is great and sets much quicker.

I've done loads of cheesecakes, baked and non baked and never put gelatine in?

I've always made it with cream cheese, double cream and sugar. But I don't usually make flavoured cheesecake, so no fruit or anything. Unless we want to add it individually to our slice.

Ex DP did buy the wrong cream cheese once though. He didnt notice until he'd made the cheesecake and taken a massive bite! Apparently garlic and herb cheesecake is not good

errrrr Cheesecake is my go-to dessert. Baked, not baked, fruity, chocolatey, everything and I have never used gelatine!

Oh god @TheFormerPorpentinaScamander how gross!
