ULTIMATE RECIPE

Lychee Cheesecake | No Bake No Eggs No Gelatins – I love lychee fruits but I’ve not tried them on cheesecake. It turned out so flavorful and light sweetness with the creamy and smooth cream cheese. I thought of giving agar agar a try since there has been so many requests without gelatines. As far as you’re making jelly, there are only 2 ways: gelatine or agar agar. Although they have different texture, but both are delectable treats. In this video I will show you how to use agar agar powder, which is different from gelatins. You can obviously switch to gelatines if you desire that more. I hope you’ll inspired to give this simple method a try. Enjoy!

240g [1 cup] lychee syrup

Instructions:

  1. Strain a can of lychee. Set aside for lychee and syrup.

  2. Prepare a 6 inch loose pan. Line bottom and around the rim with non-stick parchment paper. Set aside.

 

  • Crust

  1. Crush all the biscuits using a zip lock bag. You can also use a food processor.

  2. Add the melted butter and mix until well combined.

  3. Add the biscuits into the prepared pan. Spread them evenly. Use a bowl with flat base to compress hard the surface until it’s evenly flat and compact.

  • Lychee Cheesecake

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add in the cream cheese. Make sure your cream cheese is softened in room temp.

  2. Use a spatula to press and mix to ensure the cream cheese is fully softened and no lumps.

  3. Add in sugar and yogurt. Mix until creamy, smooth and no lumps. Set aside.

  4. In another mixing bowl, mix the whipping cream until frothy. Add in the sugar. Continue mixing until the cream is thickened. Do not over mix. Set aside.

  5. In a milk pot, add in the lychee syrup and agar agar powder. Give it a quick mix. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the agar powder is completely dissolved and formed a translucent liquid. That’s the sign that the mixture is ready. Remove from the heat.

  6. Add the lychee agar mixture into the cream cheese mixture in a few batches. Mix until well combined.

  7. Add in the whipping cream into the batter in two batches. Mix until well combined.
