Easy No-bake Cheesecake

You can have different toppings, like mixed fruits, strawberry sauce or filling, peaches or just anything that you like, but I like blueberry jelly sauce the best! You can also have it simply without any toppings at all.

This is also an ideal dessert for those who are on a Low-carb diet (South Beach, PII), just skip the crust and substitute sugar with artificial sweetener.

Some of the ingredients below are in German, since I am in Germany and these are what´s available here, but I also wrote the English equivalent.

Tips:

I find it easier to crush the biscuits using a really deep bowl or a cup and a pestle (I use the one we have for making Caipirinha). Then just add the other ingredients in the same bowl or cup for mixing.

If you can not find butter biscuits, Graham crackers also are good to use for this recipe.
