No Bake Salted Caramel Cheesecake
Oreo biscuit crust, salted caramel with walnuts, hazelnuts, and pistachios, a smooth cream with cheese and white chocolate, and a crunchy layer of dark chocolate. This no-bake cheesecake is a delight!
For a 20 cm cheesecake, approximately 2 kg
For the Crust:
300 g Oreo biscuits
150 g Butter
I used pre-ground Oreo biscuit powder here, which comes in a 300 g bag (note: powder, not crunchy crumbs!). Pour the melted butter over the powder. Line the bottom of a 20 cm springform pan with parchment paper and form the crust on both the base and the sides. Chill in the fridge while preparing the caramel.
For the Caramel:
120 g "nuts"
You can use any type of nuts—hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios, etc. Roast them at 150°C for 10 minutes, or if you want to keep it strictly no-bake, toast them lightly in a pan.200 g Sugar
10 g Salt
Place the sugar and salt in a saucepan over low heat until the sugar is fully melted.
70 g Butter
70 g Heavy cream
Once the sugar has melted, add the butter and stir until smooth. Then, add the heavy cream and mix again. Boil the caramel for 20-30 seconds, then remove it from the heat. Set aside about 20 g of the caramel (in a small bag or container). Add the chopped nuts to the remaining caramel and pour it over the biscuit crust at the base of the cheesecake.
For the First Chocolate Layer:
100 g Dark chocolate
10 g Oil
25 g Milk
Melt these together and pour over the caramel layer. Spread evenly and chill until firm.
For the Cheese Layer:
400 g Fresh Cheese (quark or ricotta)
130 g Sour Cream
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Mix these ingredients together in a bowl.
7 g Granulated Gelatin
35 g Cold Water
Hydrate the gelatin in water, melt it, and incorporate it into the cheese and sour cream mixture.
130 g White Chocolate
200 g Whipping Cream
Melt the white chocolate and mix it into the cheese mixture. Then, fold in the whipped cream (whipped to medium peaks). Pour the cheese mixture into the cheesecake pan and refrigerate for several hours.
For the Second Chocolate Layer:
100 g Dark Chocolate
10 g Oil
25 g Milk
As with the first layer, melt the ingredients together and spread them over the cheese layer. Decorate with pieces of pistachios, hazelnuts, the reserved caramel, and dark chocolate—or however you like!
To Remove the Cheesecake from the Pan:
Use a blowtorch or a cloth soaked in hot water (as shown in the video).
Enjoy!
