Adam Liaw’s no-bake date cheesecake
Date syrup, which you can buy from Middle Eastern grocers and most supermarkets, makes a simple, flavourful drizzle for this no-bake cheesecake.
Ingredients
250g Granita biscuits
150g butter, melted
pinch of flake salt
500g cream cheese, softened
150ml sour cream
½ cup caster sugar
¼ cup icing sugar mixture
1 tsp vanilla extract
300ml thickened cream, whipped to firm peaks
1 cup pitted dates, chopped
date syrup, to serve
Method
Step 1
In a food processor, blend the biscuits to a medium-fine crumb. Add the crumbs to the melted butter, then the salt, and mix by hand until it’s the consistency of dough. Pack the dough into the base and up the sides of a 22cm springform tin.
Step 2
Combine the cheese, sour cream and caster sugar in a stand mixer and beat using the paddle attachment. Add the icing sugar and vanilla and combine on low speed. Add the whipped cream and combine, then add the dates and mix to combine. Transfer the mixture to the tin, smooth the top in line with the top of the crust, then cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 12 hours. Drizzle with date syrup before serving.
